Fall

Dangling on tree limbs
twirling, swinging, tormenting—
leaf, watching husky.

Taking time off

close up photo of reddish-brown autumn leaves on a tree

Lying down, face up,
holiday in the city—
sunbathing fall leaves.

Ancient

photo of a eucalyptus tree bark

Old, spotted, wrinkled—
testament to life well lived,
grand dad eucalypt.

Yearn

photo of a tree stump with a hollow opening on it

Looking to the skies,
wishing passing clouds would stay—
forests and farmers.

Frozen

photo of an autum tree with a pool of brown and red leaves around it, taken in the second week of winter

The last of its kind,
going bald, still bold, holds ground—
locked in time, autumn.
