Deepening Autumn
our landscape's changing
trees cry at summer's passing
colourful teardrops
blown by the cooling breezes
bare branches come revealed
thanks will be given
for all good things that we have
special gathering
the turkey holds to his hope
the pig will be in the stove
birds honk out alerts
southbound paths again they take
as costumes are planned
for a ghostly bewitched night
jack-o-lanterns flickering
then comes poppy's day
last of leaf tears are falling
in deep memory
Flanders Field is recited
as the cool turns into chill
late bloomers now sleep
barren trees also take rest
evading white frost
as the last autumn rain falls
crystallizing into flakes
