The Rustling Leaves
Amber, crimson, golden light,
A painter's dream, a wondrous sight.
The autumn wind, a whispered song,
Where rustling leaves all dance along.
The Equinox, a fleeting spell,
Its blessings cast, its stories tell.
In fleeting hues, the trees bestow,
A fleeting fire before the snow.
The branches

In Marked Territory
Leaves settle on the earth, embracing the hearts who remember, when they were lifted toward heaven on the wings of a gentle whisper… silencing the doubts of those who suspects the beauty each tree sparks, as each leaf decides to fall beyond the glistening rivers, beneath the hesitant hills, into the endless sea of yesterday’s

Crisp Colors Carried By Autumn
Rustling, blowing, whooshing
Like the moments before twilight,
Following shadows home, stolen
Lights, glistening across the night,
Hesitant as the forest’s calm,
Still blessings, wafting through dawn,
Rising like dew graced petals,
Reflecting the darkness, the loss
Of a moment before morning warms,
Sunlight reaching through the limbs,
Oaks and maples, painted graceful,
Listening to the brilliance of fiery golds,
The satin joy of burgundy and

Autumn Shadows
August bleeds thoughts of harvest, picking crops
shortly, corn husks, rustling leaves in earth tones
crimson shadows, bustling golden meadows
indigo skies blessed with gushing raindrops
almost tears, flowing, gentlest cries of grace
summer wars with fall in twilight treetops
blessings edge the soul, kindling light and hope
walking roads of joy where doubt never stops
searching for God’s voice as the soft

The Essence of Life
Rustling, brittle leaves
Blown by the divinely wind
The essence of life.

Amidst Rustling Leaves
In an aura and its quintessence,
Wakeful sunrise in periwinkle skies.
Fresh intoxicating air
Fly above in graceful pace.
Velvet feel of delicate rose petals,
Daffodils, scarlet marigolds,
And waves of tiny blossoms;
Sweet breathed buds have unfurled,
Kiss of sweet nectar,
Spring flowers bloom.
Birch and aspen nesting birds
Safely perch, amidst rustling leaves.
Butterflies

Rhythm Rustling Riffs
gaunt green gnawed
gullible groove gored
gutsy grills gulped
glitched gems gulled
graced gifts globbed
gripping glows' gourd
callous clouds cussed
cremating clips cupped
crumbling cruise clubbed
nosy nature nimble
nudging nectar's nipple
nasty nerd nestled
wanky wind wields
rhythm rustling riffs

Note: Of gaunt green. Inspired by a picture of nature I took earlier today.

Rustling Rays Ripped - Day 20
like saucy sun
eerie east puns
syllabic surges scribbled
taunted tips tremble
wielded wind whooshes
bearing bounty breaches
bored trees blazed
airy torrent's trace
crumbling crest crazed
rustling rays ripped
into callous confetti
boulevards' silhouettes bit
moaning melodies mixed
punctured passion's piss.

O Pups Could Read
o puppies could read...
they'd see their master's... not friends
hypocrites
o puppies could read...
they'd have reasons to fear words
newspaper thunder
stroke... a loving pat
learn... read their body language
cowering... they've read yours
a dog... a life friend
broken hearts I've seen them mend
they read the moment
o pups could read
they do... smells... sights... sounds...
rustling newspaper
Squidgy... my pet dog
my friend... my brother... died...
still...
