The Last Leaf
I smile at myself
for being so sentimental,
but how lonely it looks -
the last leaf
on the cherry tree.
Its countless companions
who shared and hung together
through months of heat,
furious winds and battering hail,
have all let go.
And...

Leaves
There's nothing left of Autumn but the leaves
They swirl and scatter, meet then disengage
The moon puts silver footlights in the sheaves and turns the marble court into a stage
She draws the curtains when she starts...

Mushroom Picking
In the cool of an autumn morning
my father and his friend,
Jimmy Kerin, would go
mushroom picking in paddocks
way out past the last suburban fence.
I would tag along not to pick
but feel the freedom of...

Dead of Fall
Dead of Fall
In gathering storm clouds, Fall whispers its dread,
Cold tendrils coil, as life's colors shed.
Once vibrant hues, now wilt and fade,
As darkness creeps in, a cold, silent grave.
The trees shudder from...

The Forgotten Child of the Four SeasonsWinter slowly wakes with an ice-cold nose.
Spends much of its time sneezy winds it blows.
Spring’s wardrobe full of floral foulard feigns change.
Dresses then frolics in daydreams of blue-sky mountain range.
Summer stands tall at...

Serenade for The Trees
The trees are beginning
to turn inward towards sleep
and are letting go of leaves
dressed in their funereal finery
of yellow, orange and red.
They fall like severed wings.
The heavy shade
that for months has kept
the avenue cool in...

Changing gearsWhen mankind has been using gears, levers and pulleys,
For thousands of years,
To speed things up,
Or slow things down,
To make it possible to take heavier loads uphill,
And to go faster on straight roads.
Then came clocks to...

You Fell Like October RainYou fell in October, like autumn leaves
Funny it was a hot day.
The avocado tree was budding.
I knew you only a short while,
But it broke me to see your mother cry.
She was inconsolable.
And I thought I...

Fall Song with Joanna Daniel
Fall flourishes with flighty flair,
a silent song upon the air.
Melody of fading ember,
all in spirit, rhythm, and timbre.
In Her heart, a tenuous tune
flirting with a bold maroon moon.
She has not sung this song before,
an unearthly,...

Fall Song - A Collab with Linda Alice Fowler
Fall flourishes with flighty flair,
a lilting song upon the air.
Symphony of fading cinder
all in spirit, rhythm, and timbre.

flirting with a sweet revelry.
She has not sung this song before,
an unearthly, uplifting...

Dancing on the wings of an autumn leafTwo pixies dressed in October clothes
Were dancing on wings of an autumn leaf
Their lively footwear was fun to watch
Neither seemed concerned we were there
Twirling and whirling, on tippy toes
They showed off their dance moves
As the...

Autumn is Green and GoldBy Cherbo Geeplay
I peer at thy rolling hills. Adorned with autumn's muted shades of yellow, green, and gold. The expansive forest radiates red leafs and splendor. While summer watches from her privileged perch. Lining...
