I moved a dirt clod
with my big toe
down a line of
cratered cement
the pieces
rolled
and fell into place
and place came around
I picked an acorn
with no hat
bald and no
facial expression
a blank stare
put in my pocket
a saw a two bird
V
geese gossiping
mad enough
to leaVe form
and colon ize
I caught one
leaf sliding down
a draft
a crispy curled
loner free fall
onto my life line
the big dipper
emptied a
ladle of frost
all over everything
crystal cool silver
plated night
The Seasons of Fall

ReplyDeleteBeautiful imagery, Jerry - especially the dipper full of frost. And the hatless acorn - lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuggestion for a title - "Lone"
Love the 'bald' acorn; they always look a bit odd without their lids.
ReplyDeleteNice Autumnal One Shot, Jerry!
Good fall imagery. :)
ReplyDeleteNice imagery, autumn can be so descriptive.
ReplyDeleteDear Jerry
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done.. I enjoyed your words.. "I caught one
leaf sliding down
a draft"
Perfect image...
