John Lawless Poet Senryu

Autumnal Antics

as cardinals nest
lost within the red maple…
                                   old squirrels chatter


a house cat wanders
nose pressed against the window….
				   once a predator


lone caterpillars
Rumpelstiltskin weavers of….
                                   future butterflies


faded beauty mourns
casting petals to the wind…
			         a swirl of sadness
