last

the last leaf

long since fallen…

mounting debts

 

 

 

golden

 

golden leaves

strolling through the richness

of autumn 

 

 

 

 

 

burnished

burnished skies

trees  aflame

with autumn

 

 

 

autumn

autumn twilight

cloaking the hills

in stars

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

late

 

late autumn

more beaks gather

at the table

 

 

 

 

 

late

late autumn

frosty clouds cover

stark skies

 

 

 

evening

evening stillness

this morning’s snail

in the same place

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

evening

evening fishing

a net full

of shadows

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wing filled

wing filled skies

the silence inside

my melancholy

So pleased to feature in the new issue of Hedgerow ! https://hedgerowpoems.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/hedgerow-96-edited-by-caroline-skanne.pdf

 

rucksack

the life I choose to take

on my journey

 

knowing when

it’s time to go

wing filled skies
