Impending ~

"Now autumn's fire

burns slowly along the woods

and day by day

the dead leaves fall and melt."

the woodbine is turning

one of the signs

 of autumn's approach

As August Concludes ~

 whether intertwined

 suspended

 ditched

 or swamped

August

 knows its colors

"It will not always be summer; build barns."

Hesiod

Autumn Sighs ~

when she is

not sighing she

sometimes

flames aloud
