autumn – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Autumnal Flower

cold autumnal rain 
sunlight returned joyfully 
memories at night

I was able to fit a walk in between rain and wind. Found this lovely bundle of resistance peeking through the shrubs.

Wind 
Pushing the rain 
Stripping trees 
Yet a few 
Tenacious leaves
Remain

with winter nearing 
trees are now barren of leaves 
under the cold rain

as I look closely 
during this pause in the rain
gemstones on the leaves

cold autumnal rain
moments of tranquility
as I sip my tea

trees gently moving
and sun high above the clouds
cold day without rain

a cup of tea
a quiet afternoon
autumnal darkness

raindrops on roses
jewels glisten upon petals
after autumn rains

visions of autumn
daylight moves through clouds and rain
soon, soon winter comes

a feast for the birds
during this time of scarcity 
few leaves remaining
