fall rain-
brone, gold and red leaves
skitter down the street

still night
near full moon
crackles in the runoff

evening commute
gold and bronze leaves
shimmer in the sunset

hints of change
first bout of allergies
champagnes grapes in markets

falling asleep
the scent of baby lotion
fills my dreams

sitting at the stop light-
tree fills with black birds
and empties again

back from long weekend
dancing through the plant front gate
eager for the day



my car took all the nickels I had to rub together
to fix over the weekend-
it was pure joy to come to work at 5AM this morning

turkey day eve-
on the phone with my sisters
planning the big meal

Thanksgiving's comin-
marathon monopoly
and movie nights

warm autumn day-
single rose blooming
on the barren bush

evening commute
moon peeking through
the afternoon clouds

Nesting kicking in...

crisp afternoon
basement door open
as I start to cull

morning commute
sparkling gold and green leaves
carpet the streets

morning commute
Scottish Dialouge
floating in my head



Half way through NaNo WriMo!

week of vaca
watching the leaves change color
between good reads

fourth watch
mums sparkling with frost
greet the sunrise

first cold night
broken steam valve now more urgent
than when warm last week

through the front door
moonlight sparkling
on frost covered cars

after a week from hell
letting all my frustrations
melt in the breeze

afternoon break
girl scout cookies delivered
on the hunt for milk
