**Leafy Boughs of Finery**
When the air turns crisp and
harbors promises of cold nights
requiring the layering of clothes
to provide warmth the chill of
autumn dresses for the season
with leafy boughs that become
a finery of golds, yellows, reds
lining the street a fall runway
they bend ever so slightly to see
through the glass eyes of homes
where pumpkin pies are baking
and hot cider is brewing

***Autumn and Art Deco****
Autumn leaves on a tree
imitate feathers on a bird
briefly burnished
orange and brown
before lightly drifting
one by one to the ground
an art deco lamp light
shining brightly
beneath a front porch roof
is keeping good company
with the wind chimes
whose notes do lightly soothe

Rescued
Goggle Image
fur soft and course
all at once
like brush bristles
left untouched
eyes speaking to me
from deep inside
her voice only heard
in a blink of time
always rescued them
as they came my way
her I chose
an autumn day

Let me begin by saying the above pic is not of the dog I recently adopted but looks enough like her, I decided to use it here. I call the dog I adopted Dulce and she is 7 months old. She will hopefully, like all my pets, have a very long life ahead of her. She traveled here to Washington along with many other dogs that were rescued from what they call ‘kill facilities’ in California. She has spirit and I believe will let nothing get her down.
Words of Magic
Google Image
reading books is like seeing
endless stories weaving
words of magic
like light filtered
through glass prisms
creating soft rainbows
on the squares of
maple floor that lie
beneath her bare feet
like shifting paradigms
settling adrift as a
snowy blanket of seeds
from cottonwood trees
in Spring
when the rivers run
swift and high
filled with the melting
of snow from Winter
so it is with mixed feelings
that a story ends
as when leaves die and
drift to the ground
in Autumn
she awaits with anticipation
the beginning
of another story
that will weave
words of magic
again
