__Halloween. Through the imprinted fears of all the -bad- things that could happen... it is still a 'nite-rite' of childish joy, even for we... of age. _m


a candle
shows this pumpkins smile
harvests

__Laziness causes me to post this Cinquain that bubbled up, and out of Talon's good work, her post of Monday the 25th.


cold hands
blood of worry
flows true from yours to mine
yet when this crisis comes to close
warm smiles

Brown, and dry triangles stand in the sun, the pawns.


teepees
cornstalks of this harvests field
checkmate

__Some 'I-net' problems... it comes and goes; next week, a new provider of that service. >'Bong, bong, plunk!'<


falling acorns
pumpkins make this hollow sound
first frost

Quiet walk.

Coming soon... Halloween.


dark walk
along this knotted path
pumpkins

... and the sun keeps moving south... further shortening our northern days.


southern sunset
burns through this darkness
tunnels

The change; a summer vine had knitted itself into the pine's limbs.


red leaves
wrap this evergreen
a vine

As inspired by Lorraine's post... seen on October 9th. _m


at night
the moon streatches my shadow
this pond

"Abstract Deductions." Yes, Dev, your "wayside chapel."


a spire
reaches above the soils
this traveler

Something dreamy about reading by firelight.

__Thursday was wild and windy at the pond; a summer's bird nest had 'fall'en into our Chrysanthemums.
__October third, our thirtieth year of complete and loving compatibility!
............. Such a very Happy Anniversary, Kathy!
