day of the dead
a crow settles
on your grave

witching

witching hour

the crackle

of candy wrappers

 

 

 

 

autumn

autumn chill

wondering how much

to tell you

 

 

deepening

 

deepening chill

another pile of leaves

turns to dust

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hoarfrost

hoarfrost

her shoulders

stiffen

 

 

first

 

first log fire

the remains of spring

in the chimney

 

 

 

 

wind

wind in my ears

eyes blinded

by autumn gold

 

 

One of mine today!

between flickers

of recognition

shadow play

hide and seek

looking for feet

in the trees

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Autumn issue of Bamboo Hut

 

Proud to feature in the Autumn issue of Bamboo Hut today!

a different song
at sunrise
start of spring

your laboured breath
the screech of an owl
at sunset

given the night
yet still the candle
flickers

the silent alley
a chill wind howls
through hollowness

dew drops drip
from the daffodil’s head
snow lines the shadows

another year
still you smile at me
from the frame

open door
wind chimes sing
in spring

sail boats bob
rippling starlight
darkness splashes

sunlit stream
the young pup runs
after his reflection

still snowing
I sink deeper
into silence
