Autumn leaves glaze in lovely luster
Dry leaves leave deciduous trees.
Nascent descent leaves with glossy lamina
on nice soft silky glittering gesture..
Emarald green foliage in shimmering gleam.
Autumn leaf colour is phenomenal
ornamenting usual green leaves
of some deciduous trees and shrubs .
Golden yellow, gorgeous orange,
charming crimson, pretty purple,
amazing auburn, or bright brown hues
to exhibit during few weeks of Fall.
Call of Autumn on Maple leaves
to show fire glow in shiny texture.
Amber leaves forming classy cluster
Typical Autumnal sheen
seen on fresh foliage.
Spectacular Autumn Leaves !

Rains falling :
Small droplets forming ripples
on shallow pool
in concentric circles
growing bigger and decaying
reforming recreating .
Rains drizzle.
Raindrops
fall on leaf lamina
kissed by blowing breeze
in zest and zing.
Showers of raindrops
on running river
propagating merrily.
I am sensing smelling sadness of sky
releasing in cries of bursting clouds.
I am blending tears with rain drops.

WINTER SONATA
We were in sweet honeymoon trip
in a rural area untouched by tourist.
Winter entered with utmost windy breeze
Smoggy ambient covered in cloudy canopy.
Low luminous shimmering Sun hiding itself
in misty dusty sky.
Dawn dew drops dazzling like diamond
on glossy glass blades and leaf lamina
greeted us at entrance path.
Our lavender love rolled, rippled on snowy splendor
in calm cold chilly wonder.
Icicles hanging from roof of our room.
On background shown mountain with snow cap.
Severe Winter felt guilt as we quivered even under quilt,
Ardent amour strongly desired for warmth .
Spent charming night, embraced tight in cozy sojourn.

KOMOREBI
Pushing dense bush walking in pathless forest
under tree canopy, continuous.
At dawn sun rays penetrating at best,
torching dark tunnel , making luminous.
Sunbeams filtered by leaves and foliage
interplaying sheen and shade to astound.
Komorebi cast on dappled image
forming lovely lattice on forest ground.
Komorebi caused by leaf lamina.
Pretty patterns to adorn forest floor.
Sunlight is sieved by leafage patina.
Wonder and dreams of sunbeam to adore.
Morn glow of Komorebi ! End of night.
Dark shadowed tunnel on opacity,
finding flash of thin shafts of twinkled light.
Profound pure pristine tranquility .
When sunlight shines through tree in environ
Contrast of light and shadow to receive
on re-energised radiant ion,
Komorebi to charm at morn and eve.

FALl FLAVORS
Free fall of leaves on Fall.
Yellow dry leaves leave deciduous trees.
Fall flavors ! Abloom flowers.
Auburn Autumn to glow and blaze
Maple tree showing satin glaze erasing dryness.
Glossy leaf lamina on shimmering patina.
Breeze blowing to scatter leaves at random.
Pair of rabbits jumping in a pile of leaves.
Me lying supine on non mowed meadow
White cotton clouds floating slow above.
Collage of Sun and shadow playing
on furrow and on me.
Pair of reckless restless rabbits rushing, running,
jumping in a pile of leaves.
Me watching with lazy eyes:
Crazy rabbits are busy
to enjoy the game of long jump and high jump!
Me indolent to lie down enjoying Autumn environ.

Debut of a Butterfly
Winged adults lay eggs on leaves.
Larvae glued on leaf- lamina to thrive and survive.
Later Caterpillar crawls out.
Ugly black creature with thorny spikes all along.
Caterpillar grows rapid chewing foliage!
Pupa or chrysalis confined in cosy cocoon
went on metamorphosis.
.
What a surprise beyond surmise !
Skin of pupa splits exhibiting adult insect
. with folded wings yet wet
letting to dry up and getting strong.
Then flies off in air flapping, fluttering wings.
It is a free frolic beautiful butterfly.
starting flight for the rest of life.
No chewing but sucking nectar
from flowers.

She tucks hair behind her ears,
sheen gathers, raven is the light of her.
She lifts him over dark breakwaters,
eyes closed, she funnels him
into her purse seine.
Fingers fit watery gloves,
olive oil and rose water, flavors spill.
Catalan rain clouds weep their sweet moments.
A tarragon musk, a salty lamina folded through
anemone fingers. Gestures flex and unwind.
A topaz sun rides over evening waves,
dips for darting anchovies, sinks into memory.

lifts him over dark breakwaters,
their eyes closed, she funnels him
into her purse seine.
Fingers fit watery gloves,
olive oil and rose water,
flavors spill over
Catalan rain clouds,
a musky tarragon,
a salty lamina
folded through
anemone fingers.
Later they watch a topaz sun
ride over waves
as it dips for darting anchovies.

Indecision and weakness, selfishness and recklessness
Invade our personalities and sap from our souls stamina
When fleas, lice and bedbugs feed on our foolishness
Panel beating us flat and horizontal into the lamina
Mosquitoes, leeches, bacteria, plasmodia and viruses our bodies incapacitate
Leaving our mangy bodies vulnerable
As though we inadvertently chose to precipitate
Crises and conundrums that disable
Our broken bodies
Blowing them first left next right
When high energy eddies
Steal and peel our birthright
When fellow sinners despite their burdens
Join us in solidarity
As we fumble, grumble and stumble in the sorrow gardens
Where hypocrites look down on the majority
Communicate without speaking
Wincing at the sorrows they wish they knew
Quitting from burdens of life and quaking
Would render us inferior to the shrew
Who despite her smaller size put up a brave show
To grant us comfort and support
As we dodge the low blow
Fate strikes in a determined effort us from life to export and deport.
