Fallen Red

She departs under
A canopy of deep red-
Foliage of farewell.
I drift like leaves falling dry
Discarded and not wanted.

Fall Colors

Fall embraces few,
Amid all lush foliage,
Sooner than the rest;
Bestowing glory and grace 
Entwined with the color red.

Agent Orange Eclipse

Agent Orange
Tinging lush, green foliage
Breath-taking shadow
Swallows mercurial moon
Invisible orb hovers

laurel foliage languishes on the lawn -

Snow Scape

Wet on wet washed sky
Back lit foliage sponged dry
Red dirt shows through white

Bright hues dance in winds
On a foliage tour with friends
Lofty old tree bends

Winter's Glass

The frost weighs heavy
Separating weakened limbs
From the sleeping trees
Covering the last foliage
Foggy glass crowns the color

The Beauty of Fall

With Autumn colors,
Foliage withers off the trees,
As birds migrate south.

I'M Just Glowing

apricot roses
                                glowing in near dusk lighting

Premium Member Tears In the Wind

when autumn falls and
      leaves my heart bare, the wind
 will blow my tears away;
      adrift with the foliage, I
  will think of you

Autumn skies shepherd
splashes of blazing gold, red
brown watercolor
descending foliage creak
and shudder, respite and waits

Escaping


How swift the disappearing of shadow
meshing with green foliage
Like my hasty choices

a difficult audience it was
I saw in the attendance
fragments of husbands
foliage of broken wives
and little bits of pupils

Large yellow-orange
blooms, falls last foliage appears
reminding me-hope.

Pray for harvest
of the late bloomers fruit and
harvest in spring time.
