Windfall

We ate the windfall
Jillie Bulson and me
Wandering the orchard
From tree to tree
Apples and pears
Plums and cherries
Then the kitchen garden
To top up on berries.

Constitutions like iron
We gorged our fill
And never ever once
Were we ever ill.

The Orchard still stands,
Jillie sadly recently gone.
Our childhood friendship
In memory lingers on,
Still eating the windfall,
Jillie Bulson and me,
Wandering the orchard
From tree to tree.

Windfall

a fierce wind echoes
one lonely leaf hangs on tight
a naked tree stands

Sally Needs a Little Windfall From Covid

Sally Needs A Little Windfall From COVID

Sally yearns for her stimulus check 
In part to bring sails to her shipwreck
She could use a timely breeze
To soothe her from the deep freeze
Money's ace but her men mend her deck

Windfall of Blessing Thanks

Came November, it was time to visit USA,
where my daughter and her family stay,
to be with them to celebrate the special day
when autumn’s footfall came softly all the way.

When gentle wind whistled through the trees,
colors burst to flames through their canopy,
amber leaves whispered in rustle of rhyme,
reminding us it was the Thanksgiving time.

Moonbeam drenched the silk sky in a flush,
sprayed silver dust through the window glass.
The panes lined with candles displayed dazzling art,
lighting the sparks of joy in our heart.

Room filled with the smell of roasted turkey,
mixed with flavor of sizzling potato and apple pie,
crystal glasses full to the brim with Bordeaux wine,
allured us to be together in the special night to dine.

As I see in the twilight hour the day’s glitter wane,
I travel to that night down the memory lane,
feel grateful for the treat as God’s blessing windfall,
and thank Him for it was He who I know gave it all.

Windfall

treasures of childhood
pride of the horse chestnut tree~
ready to conquer

20 August 2019

‘Conkers’, the shiny brown seeds of the horse chestnut tree are collected and used in a traditional British children’s game whereby the conkers are threaded onto a string and each child takes turns to strike until one breaks!

Windfall

“Autumn is a second Spring
     when every leaf is a flower”

Albert Camus
French philosopher, author and journalist

WINDFALL

the wind-bell, the windflower
  the sturdy gong
    brisk breeze of anemones

the screen whips open
   frangible leaves whisk about
     autumnal bout on the deck

hollow limbs crack
   oaken surrender
      to pruning effect

the scent of cinnamon 
    mixed with aphrodisiacal pulp
       in the amber-lit kitchen

lilliputians of school age
      excitement of tiny twisters
         scuff up mom’s playground

fatherwind tossles her hair
       purple mood ring
          spurs smiles to each child

Windfall

Faith flavours forth
Nice nurtures north


Gain glimpses good
Move mindful mood


Work windfall well
Time truly tells


Wake wonder writes
Cast clever cites


Love laughing lays 
See success stay


Etch easy ease
Prize profound peace


Live lavish list
Good gathers gist


Word wealthy wish
Daze dazzling dish


Bright blossoms best
Feel feisty fest

A Code Project Windfall

I close mine eyes
The rush of wings
As darkness envelops
The numbers a torrent
A brush against my face
An urgent whisper..
Its time now
I open my eyes
My soul is in knots
My calm deameanor lost

Windfall

greenbacks on oak trees
Springtime windfall of God’s love
— pocketful of leaves

Windfall

Words weave warm worth where wonder wills,
Indulge dear heart the poise of mind;
Note nimble norm with poignant fill,
Draft dreamy start as joy styles find;
Face fancy thrills where touch funds treat,
Apt ample arc as affluence aids;
Live lavish will in moments sweet,
Love lights pure spark with plenty paid.
Work wonders well to taste true times,
Order fills stay with happy sketch;
Now let touch tell the cause of chimes,
Dance dreamy day and embrace etch;
Enjoy the ride as passion blooms,
Rouse up sure pride as love floods room.

A Windfall of Birds

Give me a void 
filled with the absence 
of human voices.
Let there be a windfall of birds
and the chime of water 
for sound.
Insert the idle sway 
of branches for movement, 
tart apples for taste.
Let my eyes drink colors,
sate me with their flavors.
I will sleep in a womb of silence,
warm as sunlight, 
and dream
I am a wanderer 
of concrete gardens
where the rasp 
of brakes and shriek of horns
tell me the seasons; 
where people rant like crows 
in the long hours of daylight.
I will sigh 
like a gentle Santa Ana wind
and know come morning 
the nightmare will be over.

Windfall

Wear wisdom well as treasure fond,
Indulge your heart that finesse grand;
Note how you dwell as treasure spawns,
Dream echoes art fond start my friend;
Feel how you feel with sparkling sums, 
Align here now as grandeur steers;
Live with fond thrill your great outcomes,
Love knows just how fine splendour cheers.
Wise words work way beyond mere sounds,
Oblige grand dream with ample scope;
Niche happy play as clear thoughts ground,
Dazzle greets scheme with loving hope;
Etch proof that styles the way of zest,
Reap a grand pile that flavours quest.

Windfall

W inter's almost here now the apples are falling down
I n homage have the Winesap's dropped to hoary ground.
N ature nurtures honeybees with each fallen peach.
D eacons rise up home bound spirits with each sermons preached.
F rost has come and nipped the nose, given a rosy cheek
a mong the children in the rye fields, playing hide and seek.
L aughter often lingers with the pumpkins in the fields   
L overs toss in high hay mounds, with thoughts of springtime yields.

The Windfall

The maple tree leaf
	Sheens of white upon them lay....
		Crystalline manna

Grass lying beneath
	Sticky to tennis shoe sole....
		small sounds as I walk

The diligent bee
	gathering, gathering, fast....
		Quiets at twilight.

INTERJECTION: 
Some would not return to the hive.  
Too heavy to fly,
to far to crawl.  
I’m sure they will die...


Inspired by a hive of hornets, deluging
a huge maple tree in my back yard, 
which is weeping sap from the leaves.
