Never in my life have I attempted to write poetry; however I am currently enjoying trying.

Poetry:~Leaves fall, life surrenders, motion slows~

Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided
Dark-eyed Juncos need shelter

In the distance, to the West, 

Blue skies highlight icy crystals, 

Glistening on mountain peaks;

Leaves fall, life surrenders, motion slows.

 

Outside my window, not quite winter,

Dramatic changes revealed,

Pleasing aspects of autumn gone;

Leaves fall, life surrenders, motion slows.

 

From the mountain, Sparrows seek food,

Dark-eyed Juncos, need shelter,

Western Scrub Jay, caches peanuts;

Leaves fall, life surrenders, motion slows.

 

In the distance, to the West,

Leaves fall, life surrenders, motion slows.

White-crowned Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos showed up, at my house, a couple of days ago – winter is on its way!

a walk into fall

canyon bursting with color

sunshine is warming

on my skin and in my heart

do I return, winter waits

This past Monday morning a friend and I went on another hike, back to the Devil’s Backbone Open Space Area, which is practically in our backyard to the west of us. It was wonderful to see some fall color; a fun hike for sure.

This morning, I took a tour of my yard to see what was still blooming.To my surprise some of my flowers are still doing well. We were slated for snow on Friday, which thankfully stayed north of us. Sorry Wyoming! Our overnight temperatures have been cold; last night’s, 32!

A reprieve, from icy destruction,

My lovely flowers, keep blooming,

To charm all, with their beauty.
