nurtured by nature
charred earth yields tender new growth –
a new beginning

Vapor & Howl
waves crash against rocks
cloud of salty vapors rise
to surf howling winds

Laid Bare
wailing autumn winds,
quenched grounds – chaos in their
wake, tree roots laid bare

Autumn Gust- A Cherita
russle of leaves
grows louder
in this autumn gust
a flurry
of browns and yellows
riding the wind

In the Garden
It is near autumn in my garden. Brown patches of dried leaves are here and there. They were caught up in the tussle between the hibiscus, and the strangling pumpkin vine from the neighbors yard. That thing had the hibiscus by the neck, in a deep bow, with two weighty pumpkins hanging off it.
The other vines that climbed the dangling cable are now crispy and brown. They owe their fate to the other pumpkin vine that was headed their way. It had to be stopped.
the lantern flower
as still as the morning air
the last pop of color

Gray Day
a gray autumn day
the lawn wears a weary brown
autumn’s taken hold

For Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday, poets choice.
Tanka Tuesday
a mid morning breeze
leaves in a carefree tumble
flutter, dip, and swoon
with lilt of a butterfly,
grace bestowed, free to the end
