Two Autumn Tetractys

Trees Are bare With sky holes A solemn gray Like Whistler’s Mother calm resignation Leaves Flutter In the wind Drop one by one We find the autumn smoke from field and hearth

Good one that is very descriptive about autumn..Enjoyed reading this eve..I am watching when I can the events of nature..My Barlett Pear is about the Barlett Pear tree in my yard but my thoughts were going toward the fact the doctor said "you are old and you are only going to get older and your condition is only going to get worse"..Sara

So glad you tried this new form, Daver. Really enjoyed your description of Whistler's mother's "calm resignation." Fits in well with the autumn mood. Well done! Love, Carolyn

* “I Do Not Know But I Seem to Find A Touch of Somber Gray * My Dear Precious Daver * Perhaps Its Change of Weather In The Soon Passing Colours of Another Autumns Gone, Yet * Gazing Beyound The Horizons * Whether Gray The Day or Sunshine Blue * I Always Find A Ray of Brilliant Light * That Guides Me Through * Thank You * For The Kind Visit & Congrad * Luv Always * Sarah.” *
