October Oak

October Oak

as daylight hours decrease
trees will lose leaves

these colours come 
around each fall

green leaves grow dim
changing colours 
almost overnight


one day you see
a bright orange tree

and suddenly know
october's back again


summer cumulus
clouds become cirrus

nights become chilly

the time comes for
fall gardening jobs


there are shrubs to trim
many leaves to rake

soon it will be too cold
you know we're going

into winter's deadly cold


most importantly
see and enjoy the colours

Maple in Autumn

photography
loves daylight,
any light
excellent
for something.
today,
this minute,
it’s great
to be alive.

every day is
beautiful,
good day
to live.
spring all
excitement,
summer bright
colours,
autumn leaves
a blast
of colour,
wild mushrooms
popping up,
winter
white snow

photography
loves daylight,
any light
excellent
for something.
today,
this minute,
it’s great
to be alive.

maple in
winter,
spring, summer,
and then
the maple
in autumn
is best of
them all

photography
loves daylight,
any light
excellent
for something.
today,
this minute,
it’s great
to be alive.

 

October Colour

October Colour

October seems
to celebrate
the beautiful
world that
summer was.

Green,
brown, and
gold, they
seem a
celebration:
life, earth
and effort, a
harvest soon
will follow.

Orange Wave

Orange,
cascading
as if over
a green
branch, changing
a tree.

We watch
an evil wave
cascading,
breaking over
a world
which seems
so sane
now
in retrospect.

I want my
world
back.

Maple in Black and White

Colour gone,

and hope

for a fallen

friend,

we look

and

sometimes

learn.

Monochrome

mystifies,

yet

a little

extra grain

reveals

detail.

Rumours of
a fall,
we never
wanted,
a dead thing
now,
it lays
on cold
earth.

Beautifully
coloured, we
see an
unseeing
thing,
pathetic
remnant
of what
it used
to be.
