Five Fall Fragments

temperatures drop ,daylight hours fly
on the lawn yellow leaves putrefy.

Pampas tinted old gold
bathed in the evening sun-
I siesta in  Fall shadows.

an old orchard wall
russets ready to fall-
pockets bulge with illegal harvest

Fallow deer feed at dawn and dusk,
Treading flat the beechnut husk

dank fog envelops
bonfire night-
the party becomes a
damp squib
