Joyce Johnson Poet Dodoitsu

In Near Future

I see the end of summer 
Labor Day the last hurrah
Leaves and rain race each other
Puddles of color

Corn and pumpkins center stage
Holidays appearing soon
Old year giving way to new
With bold promises

Shadows in the crystal ball
Brother’s face fades in and out
Fearing to look far ahead
I avert my eyes

Joyce Johnson 9/9/11
For Linda Marie’s contest “Crystal Ball”  won no.8
