Autumn leaves glaze in lovely lustre
Dry leaves leave deciduous trees.
Nascent descent leaves with glossy lamina
on nice soft silky glittering gesture..
Verdant valley in shimmering gleam.
Autumn colour is phenomenal
ornamenting flora and foliage.
Trees, shrubs, herbs in Autumn fire.
Golden yellow, gorgeous orange,
charming crimson, pretty purple,
auburn , rufous or bright brown hues
to exhibit during few weeks of Fall.
Call of Autumn on Maple leaves
to show golden flow in shiny texture.
Amber leaves forming classy cluster
Typical Autumnal sheen
seen on fresh frolic Autumn glow.
Orioles, blue jays, blackbirds, and red robins all sing
robustly to tangelo sun, as meadows and woods ring.
All through spring and summer gloss, as roses glisten,
Nature's noonday, jade heartbeats, cause all to listen!
Glittering gold on green lakes-an afternoon of amber,
Exotic trills rise, in quiet hours of persimmon glamour.
Saffron songs swell in the orange peel, blossom fields,
entrancing them into a dark orange dance of the hills.
Rivoli's hummingbird hums, in a purple and teal coat
even donned in green and brown, in marigold soaked.
Nightingale croons plaintive, florid, butterscotch arias,
and there is revelry of roses, in far, marmalade areas!
Day is so long for rufous hummingbird, in fiery plumes,
Enriching hot, lime spaces, with apricot, droning tunes.
IN AUTUMN’S EVES
With closed eyes in Autumn’s eves of gold
My muse flows with glory of auburn Autumn.
I feel mild Autumn zephyr to murmur.
In my eager arms I wish you to hold.
I open eyes for cotton clouds to behold.
Migratory grey geese in gossamer
fly long to mate in the rufous Fall
Emotive urge surges arrogant bold.
I wish to voice my love ever untold.
In drizzles rainbow kissing horizon.
Sparkling blooms dazzling in classy cluster.
Passion boosting dormant desire to mold.
Nascent verdure shining shedding leaves old.
Some blossoms turn bronze-red top to bottom.
Blazing brightening colors in multi-fold.
Rhyming scheme abca adea afga aba.
Line used 'When with closed eyes in Autumn's eves of gold'[

Cindy my infamous old cat,
Often brings me part of a rat.
Sometimes a bird leg she brings.
Really, what can I do with those things?
Now she brought part of a squirrel.
I guess somehow he had his last whirl.
I assume you know which part brought.
The bushy part I would not have sought.
From the appearance of that tail,
He probably had plenty of tales to tell.
The rear fur was fine as any silk,
Oily as the buttercream on milk.
Rufous belly as great color known,
That tail when twitched orange shades were shown.
He loved our Italian cuisine,
Also those type of green beans.
Sad to see him go in such a way.
I guess that Cindy was hungry that day.
Our garden is just outside of a large wooded area. Squirrels come from the woods and eat our garden. They seem to love green apples, olives, and green beans. The squirrel when well fed is a very lovely animal though.

Velvet Night
On a warm, velvet summer night,
When moonlight drips in a soft SIGH,
The scents of LILACS bathe starlight
And CAJOLE crickets to reply.
MISTY castles enchant SLUMBER
On a warm, velvet summer night
Spent hearts dream in shades of umber
In mystical moonstruck half-light.
Midnight mistrals, rufous bobwhites,
Chirp with sweet sonata finesse
On a warm, velvet summer night
Soft breath of summer seeks to bless.
ETCHING calm into WEARY eyes
Sweet wine of sleep nuzzles midnight
Dulcet GUITAR blooms – sweet tones rise –
On a warm, velvet summer night.
The Missus is angry, Rufous told his wife.
Are you sure? She sounds like that a lot.
Her husband just flew off with the babysitter.
That young thing! What? His wife was outraged.
I think so.
The wife grabbed the binoculars.
That’s not the babysitter; that’s his son!
His son looks like a girl, Rufous said.
I have told you this time and time again.
Male peacocks are the pretty ones.
The plain ugly brown ones are their wives.
Rufous did not want to acknowledge his wife’s smartness.
So he kept looking, hoping something would happen to validate
At least a tiny bit of the story he fabricated about the neighbors.
His wife smirked, knowing exactly what her husband was doing.
I can fly backwards and change directions instantly, and sometimes I can fly upside down. I am the only bird that can sustain long term hovering, and I remember every flower I ever visited. I can reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour and 60 miles per hour in a dive. I can accomplish all this in my short life span of 3 to 5 years. By the way, my name is Rufus, and I must say that this is not about what I can do but about a short relationship I had with a human being.
I once frequented a feeder at a private home that was placed by the back bedroom window of a quiet and gentle home graced with flowers, fruit trees, and a lovely little vegetable garden. I occasionally would see a cat crossing the lawn, lots of energetic squirrels but never saw a dog there. When I was first noticed feeding there, the owner was very excited and amused, because it was the very first time he had experienced such a site. That is, a bird feeder that he was so proud of having installed himself.
Well, I must have feasted there for at least two years or more only to come by one day sadden that the bright red feeder was gone. It wasn't just the nutrition that I missed, because I never fall short of securing enough food, but it was also the joy I must have brought to the gentleman who thought so much of me, a little humming bird. I was always so pleased to see him watching me feed, and I could tell that it was one of the greatest joys of his day when he looked out and saw me. I don't know, but perhaps he came down with some illness. I shall remember to pray for him. You must understand my friend that life, even among the hummingbird family, is not about the feeding and the feasting. It is far more about the life and times we share with humans as we fly from place to place.

September welcoming Falls to appear.
Ensuing slowly Deciduous trees
Prepared to make all withered leaves to clear.
Torn fluffy white cotton clouds floating free.
Entry of soft nascent leaf buds to sprout.
Mild merry Autumn - Zephyr flows frolic.
Bright Blue hue on sky : Absolute no doubt.
Egrets flying in form 'V' ! Artistic.
Rufous vibrant Autumn in glossy glaze..
Fragrant Jasmine spreading sweet aroma
Autumnal glow in shiny sunny days.
Lovely lustrous pretty panorama.
Luminous amiable ambience.
Sparkling Autumn in charming radiance.
Wake me up when September ends.
Rufous luster of Autumn on October
allures assures romance under azure sky.
The Kookaburra, this terrestrial Kingfisher like bird
With it's onomatopoeic call, laughter in it's world
They inhabit arid savanna's and humid forests so lush
Also suburban to residential, as all around them humans rush
These beautiful birds are sexually dimorphic in their look
Their plumage sometimes differs, but in some your not mistook
The Rufous-bellied, Spangled, Laughing and Blue Winged
Are the four Kookaburra's who chortle as they sing
These beauties from Australia, are carnivorous in their eat
From lizards, snakes, insects and mice, they sure do love their meat
Oh to hear a Kookaburra, in their wild and natural place
Their another of natures joys, that human eyes do grace
OCTOBER PANTOUM
