Supermoon Blues

There was this week a Supermoon
The sky lit by its color of burnt umber
I was eclipsed from this awesome sight
Racked and tired, I was in slumber.

Strong Coffee

Strong coffee
  bitter in its drip
  black and hot slow sips,
aroma enhanced 
  aged on the tongue umami
  delightful and indulgent tsunami,
a caffeine high
  waking from the midnight dark
  to morning wide-eyed sparks,
coffee 
  a burnt umber brew
  greeting every day anew.

Summer Hill

The fragrance of a memory
From childhood long ago
I’m brought back
To a fenced in backyard
Crayola blue sky
Burnt umber ground
Islands of green and yellow grass
The scent of Summer Hill wafts 
As the unseen is revealed
A dream remembered then forgotten
You say it didn't happen
I recollect the aroma that says it did

Premium Member Ache of Autumn

~   fall
life aches
    for much more


burnt umber
       forest
    floor


       leaves
daubing
    autumn's breast


colors drift
       yearning
    rest


       bright
shrouding
    aptly dressed   ~
