Best night of the year,
wish I could trick-or-treat one
more time- Hallowe’en.

October 30, 2018

Ripped from their cocoons,
tasty pumpkin seeds sizzle-
October winds down.

October 29, 2018

Autumn flowers wet
with fall showers- jewels from
Mother Nature shine.

October 28, 2018

Dead pine tree glows warm
in autumn sunshine- no more
winters green with life.

October 27, 2018

Creak of dead pine tree,
rain returns to feed new moss-
life replaces death.

October 26, 2018

Small polka dot plant,
fights shortening days with blooms-
winter creeps closer.

October 25, 2018

Drag myself from bed,
autumn torpor dulling me-
I’m ready for bed.

October 24, 2018

New morning, new face,
bracing colour to start day-
amaryllis charms.

October 23, 2018

Steam from chicken soup,
surrounded by foggy fall-
time to tuck in, all.

October 22, 2018

Within shroud of fog,
nature leaves diamond necklace-
treasure for keen eyes.

October 21, 2018

Drizzle of maple
syrup makes pancakes dazzle-
Sunday brunch, big smile.

October 20, 2018

July night perfume,
from late lilies, lifts my fall
mood- as leaves drift down.

October 19, 2018

Sun struggles to break
through gathering fog- autumn
perfection surrounds.

October 18, 2018

It's not yet Christmas-
but fallen amaryllis
brightens fall bouquet.

October 17, 2018

The bloom is fading,
season has changed, but have I?
Breathe lily’s perfume.

October 16, 2018

A perch with a view,
surveying the sunny day-
then to fly away.

October 15, 2018

Lean times are ahead,
feast of Portuguese laurel
berries-dine and dash.

October 14, 2018

At sunset things seem
rosy, night of sleep ahead-
dusk enfolds mountain.

October 13, 2018

Shimmering in sun,

Mount Baker stands tall- autumn

days, they runaway.

October 12, 2018

Late strawberries and
parsley commune- whisper of
warmer days wasted.

October 11, 2018

Japanese lantern,

rescued from autumn’s damp chill-

sign of spent summer.

October 10, 2018

Christmas cactus blooms
early, giving much needed
cheer- fall days shorten.

October 9, 2018

Their heads together,
plotting their great escape- twins
bond in utero.

October 8, 2018

Thankful for so much,
gratitude for every day-
husband-made pancakes.

October 7, 2018

On wet autumn days,
we all miss the summer sun-
forgot umbrella.

October 6, 2018

Despite sun, there's an
autumn crispness to the air-
distant mountain shines.

October 5, 2018

A new face shining,
bracing colour on rainy
day- fall marches on.

October 4, 2018

October sunset,

last blazes of sun meet rose

sky- fair lullaby.

October 3, 2018

Bloom is almost gone,
summer, distant memory-
autumn's chill deepens.

October 2, 2018

There is colour yet,
in fall garden- Japanese
anemone blooms.

October 1, 2018

Withered by autumn,
last fruits of summer cling- fall
zephyrs shake garden.
