Colorful leaves on trees
They fall during a breeze
Natures masterpiece
People dressed in fleece
Abundance of Mother Earth
Showing her worth
Pumpkins, apples, and gourds
Harvest festivals volunteer boards
Corn, cider, beans, and wine
All of which are fine
Cornucopia, pine cones, and seeds
Separating wheat from weeds
Stag, blackbird, and owl
Wolves howl
Harmony, balance, and equality
A time of jollity
Amber and cat’s eye
Protect and fortify
Thistle and marigold
For the young and old
Fresh and dried flowers
Décor empowers
Rosemary, mugwort, and sage
Help with romance, prosperity, and age
Orange, red, and yellow
Relax with a cello
Brown, dark yellow, dark green, and copper
Corn in a hopper
Mabon is colorful
Pagans are religious not cultural

Villanelle : There are more poets than there are poems
There are more poets than there are poems
Eveybody writes with some poets’ tongue
Do duckweed and mugwort breed well in loams
If only those who teach could write poems
The world will be spared many gasps in lung
There are more poets than there are poems
And there’d be less of those who push poems
And even less of those who parse the tongue
Do duckweed and mugwort breed well in loams
Who says this be damned ever in dungeons
Let billions rant and rage in their own tongue
There are more poets than there are poems
Words mean what they seem beyond their poems
To hell with those who demean words with dung
Do duckweed and mugwort breed well in loams
Every human has a right to write poems
As every bird empties its sing-song lung
There are more poets than there are poems
Do duckweed and mugwort breed well in loams
