FALL

It’s mid October
All leaves finally fallen
Carpeting the ground
Swirling in the autumn breeze
Waving to the trees above...

A freezing allegory of racism and xenophobia that’s still around:-...

perspective w/ out want,

world w/ out want.

A myriad of bright, gently swaying wildflowers,

carpeting these surrounding hills,

resolutely climbing out of the darkness....

coloured leaves swirling
falling from tall swaying trees
joining rose petals
and snapped windswept flower heads
carpeting the threadbare lawn

Autumn’s golden gown is falling
Falling leaves carpeting the ground;
Ground bedecked in nature’s splendour
Splendour displayed, beauty surrounds.

Wintry white wisps wondrously whirl
Soft sparkling snowflakes silently swirl
Coolly carpeting countrysides carefully
Dazzling diamonds dancing delightfully

Autumn leaves fall 
Dancing in the breeze
Carpeting the ground
Underneath our feet
Nature’s glory does enthrall
Skeleton like trees
Rooted to the ground
Spring’s cycle will repeat
Trees again will be complete

Like golden treasure they flutter down
On autumn winds they float to the ground
Carpeting  the earth without a sound
Today's little miracle I have happily found....
 

We have a bit of a wind today and the
 maple leaves are falling like rain. Its beautiful....

Outside, the leaves are falling,
Carpeting my walk to school with new tactilities.
Treading the glorious kaleidoscope
Of crunching detritus, my 
Bulging eyes glisten as a hidden coin,
Exposed by my foraging feet, 
Reveals its hiding place.

Sky
blushing~
trees in bronze
dance as leaves fall,
carpeting the earth
in brown, gold and yellow;
A gentle gypsy wind
blows down the meadow
exuding scent
of old rose~
I smell
YOU.

Corner Office


Unlike his peers
his office holds
no photo of a wife
no indication that he has 
fathered five
and probably
will father more.
There’s a silver ashtray, though,
and a tinkling chandelier  
and carpeting 
his wife would like
soars across the floor.

The hallway
    became the perfect place
to rest inside her hiding space,
as daylight danced
through amber leaves 
into the tickled carpeting -
and on November's hottest day
Pure love found purring through a pane,
and climbed into her cardboard box -
to warm her
    and a pair of socks....

rainbow spreads its wings
carpeting wide verdant fields
brushing up all trees
to arc like pink cotton sweets
critters boast their cheering pitch

Trees are gifts from God 
Rooted, trunked, and barked with love—
We are as God’s trees:-

In labors of love,
Let’s palisade life with love—
Our branches shading:-

Let our lovely leaves
Be as those carpeting love—
Nourishing its grace:-

Let’s fruit pregnant seeds;
Germinating peace and love:
Blooming liberty:-

Charlene has to have everything new
New light fixtures, new carpeting, new furniture
She tosses out six-month-old couches as if they are lice-ridden
I see her dragging things to the dump she had to have two weeks ago
Charlene is never satisfied; she tosses husbands out too.
Or they leave, screaming. We will never know which....

Spring heralds the dawning of brilliant bluebells carpeting the woods 
Silently they slept until the warm sun rouses them from slumber 
Gently they open their eyes, stretch and bask in nature’s glory

The air around me is still,
and quiet. Leaves spiral
vertically to the ground,
gradually carpeting the 
main road. As I step on
the road, I feel as though
my feet are disappearing
into the leaves; I can't
see my feet, but I can feel
them. As I look above,
Lo and Behold!
I see trees' canopies faintly
glowing in ember
in the fading sun.....

I 
adore
kicking through
crisp crunchy leaves
of gold, red and brown
carpeting the damp ground


Biting winds chill our bones
pumpkin soup warms us
and we’ll snuggle
up by a
blazing 
fire

My frail dream was you, the brink of mayhem. 
I sprayed myself with a teasing mountain.
Your happy pleasure led you to show them. 
My frail dream was you, the brink of mayhem. 
Never foaming carpeting betrays them.
Super sleek in your artistic fountain.
My frail dream was you, the brink of mayhem. 
I doused myself on a teasing mountain.

Obliging black arms, their crooked
fingers cut freezing as they
reach for winter greys, blues of sky,

untouchable. Shaking, bending.
Mulish winds sweep lands- violence
loved, admired. They are framed


within my eyes green as last summer's
carpeting, where the trees were rooted.
Embroidered. Weaving native 

life. Earth milled, the purest white 
hush to lull. Charming. Dreamlike.
Persistent as memories....
