Cascading chestnuts
spike the echoed Autumn air -
woodland melody.

September splendor
tans the king of the forest
Tiger in Autumn.

Autumn equinox
the forest's green canopy
soon, a red carpet.

Sacrifice

Westerly wind, living thing
Zephyr breeze
Gossamer clouds, escaping rays
Autumn day
Pinched my cheeks, aflush with desire
Myriad red leaves
Phantom flyers
Dance about my feet
So indiscreet
The summer sacrifices.

The autumn oak bows
summer passes, unnoticed
crimson winsome leaf.
