rain in November...
foliage in the puddle
hides my reflection
∎

inverted tree —
all its leaves
are at its roots
∎

warm November day,
so much sun it is a shame
the trees have no leaves
∎

warm October day,
russet leaves against blue sky,
their smell in the air
∎

sun breaks through the clouds,
illuminating the hills,
of red and gold trees
∎

leaves colored like fire,
all swirling in the updraft,
rustling in the dawn

autumn colored drink
steams from my open thermos —
it's my morning fix
∎
