fall is a reminder
...Fluffy tailed rodents chasing rings around trees
Cool air, bringing a realism with harsh new breeze
Leaves redressed in yellows, oranges, golds and reds.
Nothing but brown ugly things in my flower...

searching the skies and the soul for a way

Nine Shorts - Hana, Dul, Set
...Crabs
Small feet pounding the pebbled path,
Desperate to escape
From imminent danger.
Eight legs and two claws
Advance in their thousands
Upon their prey; the child.
Refuge is sought in...

Radiance of Sunset
...It was time for day to bid adieu to the setting sun,
when tangerine hues blend with those of pale pink.
Not to miss the titian glow, I was afraid to blink,
now that the ebbing of twili...

...Running from
the voice of my conscience …
who’s deceiving who
Guilt ridden fear
embedded too dear
one and one still two
Trying to change
what’s inherent
my thoughts both twist and bend

Distant plaintive bagpipe memories
Of sunset over Kilmaurs –
A crest that bears a unicorn
Touches royal ...

68 Coronet

white vinyl top
440 mag inside
a four pack on top
an auto shift
60 in 10
in black smoke
room for five
and all their bags
12 to the mile
but 32 cents...

Sparkling in the heavenly starlight;
A rare treasure from such great height,
And shining far beyond the limelight!
For diamonds fell from last eve's sunset...

Magic carpet.
He only gets to fly through the sky
After sunset
That way no one will see his silhouette.
He glides through the rain to clean and bea...
