Fall – duncancleary

Switch

Walking down the street –
Girls stop and say ‘beautiful!’ ~
To my sunflowers.

A good book outside –
Tiny flies sticking to it ~
Unable to move.

Squishy blackberries
The Púca has defiled them ~
Leave them for the birds.

Pleasant Autumn night –
So nice to just sit and chat ~
Birds of a feather.

Raking Autumn leaves –
Colour of those still on trees ~
More enjoyable.

Leaves Autumn behind –
He travels to the New World ~
Fall in a new life.

Bees land for last time –
Summer’s end glory laid out ~
A final supper.

Autumn flies’ last chance –
Dancing flight in dusky light ~
Life on the margins.

After Man ~ ~~windows~~ –
Hanging gardens ~ Manhattan –
Eyries in Fall sun.
