Shedding winters coat
Sowing seeds on bare shoulders
Anticipating
Abundant seasonal growth
With organic antidotes
~
Awaiting color
To crop under warming sun
With splashes of hope
Time sprung in forward thinking
Full of possibilities

Autumn
Earlier the nights
Harvesting bountiful crops
Southward Equinox
Colors shed with fallen leaves
Lulling toward winters sleep
-Tanka repost. Happy 1st day of fall, my favorite season!
Twilight Zone
How many days turn
To sleepless nights
That pass us by
In a blink of an eye
Unable to discern
What’s wrong or right
Open the windows
Let the light shine
Breathe in fresh air
Exhale toxic cares
Sink into the pillows
As the terminator aligns
Snow Flows
Swift moving meadows
Glistening under the sun
Hints of spring, snow flows
It’s Chilly

Extended darkness covers
Around my chin they hover
Morning does struggle to rise
Fighting to pry open my eyes
Appearing later each day
Rushing to figure out a way
Autumn begins to settle
Time to bring out the kettle
Crisp morning air now descends
Whacky socks I will depend
Halloween

Headless Horseman riding by and things that go bump in the night
After the children are safely tucked in bed their thoughts bring fright
Lightning flashes outside electrifying a grey cloudless sky
Lycanthropy neighbors change forms and are spied barking at the moon
Old skeletons wandering down the streets in broken pieces
Witches brew magic in the cauldron and chant incantations
Earth rotten zombies gathered on the front porch trying to get in
Evil laughter from the Vampire on the corner that licks his lips
Nightmares are well and alive before the child closes his eyes

Sunrise
Brilliant light
Radiates daily heat
Ample source of vitamin D
Barricaded behind four enclosed walls
Missing out on the great outdoors
As nightfall slips in place
Darkness ascends
Sunrise
