The Key to Gates

The summer days like dreams have whirled.
An autumn oak indicates
With brown leaves the key to gates
Which opens a white and frigid world.

Not a Strife

A yellow leaf on a green spruce is not a strife.
It makes such an impression
Of the seasons’ succession
And everlasting development of life.

Rocks

Rocks rising up like reefs
Through the golden sea cleave.
That which was an autumn tree
Having shed all its leaves.

Pink Plant

The sturdy strong pink plant,
A part of autumn chant,
Bursts out with simple beauty...
I took a picture of this cutie.

The Sunny Flakes

The sunny flakes the tree has shed
Like grains of gold upon the lawn.
The summer's gone.
Life goes on.
And lilac happiness ahead.

Nice

Nice goose,
Nice grass,
Nice water.

No obtuse
Jackass
Slaughter.

Authority

Authority in its superiority
Provides severe discipline
That timorous sorority
Avoids bad might-have-been.

Stretching the Wings

The goose is stretching its wings
Looking forward to a flight.
The one that dizzy freedom brings
Amidst the elemental fight.

A Bridegroom and a Bride

A pair of geese is walking along the riverside
Enjoying sightseeing and each other,
A happy bridegroom and a bride,
Gently talking goose words to one another.

Cold Water

Cold water flows from afar
Changing the way things are.
On this clear autumn day
It will wash our griefs away.

Waterside Park, Rockwood, Ontario

- Your Majesty, it's time for the performance of the Day of Golden Fall.
The orchestra is waiting and the audience is ready.
They are impatiently anticipating the magic air you have prepared for the ball
That sounds so sweet and is so heady.
- I'm on my way. Give me a minute to fine tune my flute.
I do believe, My Lady,
The melody will fill the woods, the river and this place with the salute
Of harmony that gives the inspiration
To all the living beings to enjoy the vivid beauty
Of life that's reigned ever since the World's creation.

Red Drops

The drops are red.
The stone is brown.
The yellow leaves are on the ground.
What else exciting can be said?
The Golden Fall is overhead.

The Orange River

The orange river flows
Into my prodigious heart.
Let cold winter snow,
We won’t be apart.

Leaves in my Yard

Soft autumn leaves have fallen
By magic in my yard.
With innocence they are enthralling
This fascinated bard.

Serenity

The rays of sun are coming through
The leaves and my excited soul.
Above the world's spread out in Blue
The bright Serenity of Fall.


Chair

The sun hot patterns weaves
On yellow maple leaves.
The finest thing of all,
Bright gift of Golden Fall.

Surprise

Green summer wood
By autumn magic could
Reveal its blessing in disguise
To my immense surprise.

The Maple Leaves

The maple leaves reflecting rays of sun,
Give summer warmth to earth.
The biting frost of starry nights to shun
Before cold winter's birth.

Can it be?

I found fresh yellow leaves under the tree.
Can it already autumn be?
