Poetry ~ Waka
temperatures shift
sitting on a bed leaves
first snowflakes
temperatures shift
wind blowing fiercely
scarf on a branch
sitting on a bed of leaves
jack-o-lantern treat
squirrel prefers tricks
first snowflakes
flutter ever softly
on running noses
&&&&&
autumn weather shifts
laying on leafed bedding
snowflakes on their tongues

Daily Moments October 24, 2016 Weather shifts
echoes linger
mocking in the shadows
mid barren trees
tendencies of souls at risk
symbolic of this season
hopelessness
leaving far too many
unhinged

waning moon
like broken souls of broods
kiss the darkness
daunting clouds still hover
robbing them of their youth
Walking home with heavy heart she thinks of her long shift. So much suffering, such turmoil, youths turning 14 going on 40…all the tears and moans linger in her heart.

Leaving work flirting midnight, she looked up at the sky and began her pursuit. The sky illuminated at times showing off its teal blue and then she noticed patches of white and grey. On she went aiming for the perfect spot…
weaving through
over and under
rain clouds
preying through black forests

Sunday stroll by the river just before sunset. She walks along the park alone; summer lovers have deserted their summer nest and still, she feels a tingle of life, romance and sheer beauty in the air.
dressed in autumn’s best
preening at their reflection

Daily Moments October 16, 2016
Late at night after she has arrived home and settled on her comfy couch, her bff (best feline friend) snuggles on the back of the couch near her neck. Such a lovely way to end her day. She wonders why on earth the English language chose “purring” to emulate the sound. Yes, definitely, she thinks to herself, the French word has coined the perfect match.
savourant le calme
bercée par son ronronnement
paupières s’alourdir
basking in stillness
lulled by her purring
eyelids weigh

her golden glow deceives
autumn
illusions
lively colours of the leaves
tumbling to their death
her golden glow deceives
another broken promise
wish upon a star
autumn
mask of maturity
counting days
