Even in August, trees forfeit their leaves,
Fallen castoffs clutter the curves and eaves.
While lovers stroll, I mourn such a dove—

Eaves of leaves

The autumn FLAIR FILLS the AIR fresh and cool,
The HILLS WEAR their SHARE as a crown,
EAVES of LEAVES form THRILLS of priceless jewel.

Their SHADOWS in water CHOSE HUES of gold,
Giving VIEWS of JOY to ENJOY the town,
While a small BLAZE PAYS its DUES to the cold.

The guitar's SWEET BEAT DELIGHTS all the ears,
The LIGHTS were

On the pathways in the valleys, where the sun weaves with the eaves' shadows

On the pathways in the valleys, where the sun weaves with the eaves' shadows,
April's flickers spill to adorn the pale oases.
Winter's shadows are extinguished, broken in the wait for buds to bloom,
Melting away in the golden dawns, lofty beneath the proud morning's loom.
The industrious rays of the sun begin to sprinkle golden threads
Over the endless

Eaves Droppings

Knocking and and bumpings 
as I wonder I was wondering 
wandering listening over hearing 
behind closed doors listening
malice screams and jumping 
some vulgar messages 
the distant cry 
HR call security runs by me 
side those social murders screams 
of content her supervisor was
verbally firing a coworker
much content my head drops 
near the floor I'm caught

Today surveillance cameras are out in the open for transparency reasons

Elegant and Even Eaves

Elegant and Even Eaves

Whole house was elegant and even eaves;
Is some sinner who in himself he believes;
Hard to explain,
Done in vain,
While in and out of traffic he often weaves.

Jeremy Xamined the Stormy Eaves

Absently I
Brushed the
Crushed ice
Down from the
Eaves and
Followed my 
Grandfather into
His little cottage.

I looked all around me hoping to find any traces of
Jeremy's presence, but
Katherine had been thorough and
Left
Me
Nothing, to remember him by.

Out of the corner of my eye a
Purple flag flapped outside the
Window,
Quietly warning us of the
Rapidly approaching
Storm that had
Threatened the lot of
Us.

Very slowly I

Eaves Dropping

The silent whispers are heard afar, as though the words were neariy spoken .
Carefully said ,what is foul and fair,though not aloud for sake of other ears.
the secret words hoarded ,could be someday relived,by those who listened -
strained at such .
The covert is made open,seldom times it,s a trifle,many times what was said in
the quiet
