Tim Gardiner
the black cricket sings
without a care in the world
from the reptile tank
David Austin
summer's backward glance
reluctant to say adieu
one lonely white rose
Brandon Moore
A single snowflake
Drops down from the Mountaintop
Landing unspoken

only in silence
God speaks to His voice
in the voiceless voice

Small migrating birds
Flying in a fluid line
A scattered black snake

Thanksgiving school play
nightmare of the food's revenge ?
I?m cast as the nut

She chases his ghosts
out of the schoolyard. Old trees
bow. Their slow walk home.

autumn horizon
the falling rain, scatter of
leaves on the frost soil

cathedral bells heard
loud in the old town center -
chestnuts strike a bench
Bill Melton
Complacent leaves hang
listless in hot humid air
no reason to stir
Sandra Barnett
wasp galls on oak leaves ?
they fall through the air and catch
on webs and wipers

Sitting by windows
Breathing out air making fog
Winter is coming

Trees dance in the winds
Branches sway, leaves with rhythm
Becoming Alive

blow through my very spirit
cleaning out the rot

the cottonwood in autumn
tells summer's secrets

Far away mountains
Where ancient monks once roamed
Can I go there now?

when there was no ink
i harvested my marrow
just to write your name
Robin Sprafka
your eyes fill with tears
let me go winter daughter
to my Moon River
Dennis Lowe
this old building creaks
while the wind murmurs with friends
among the rafters
Dennis Lowe
pouring plain water
earthenware vessels display
remarkable skill
Don Bouquet
hummingbirds hover,
butterflies crowd a Fall bloom-
east wind scatters all
Don Bouquet
an ant parachutes!
no, a dandelion seed
skydiving to earth
Lois Battersby
Hills blaze with color
Apples and pumpkins fill stands
Wood smoke in the air
Lois Battersby
Walk on ancient rocks
Lighthouses mark safe passage
Tide pools teem with life
Joseph J Kozma
Frogs sleep in the shade
Eagles look for easy prey
No more decisions
Joseph J Kozma
A tired old house
weeds are kissing the dull sky
not too much time left
Joseph J Kozma
The wind mills still turn
Aimless hoboes ride the trains
Nothing can hurt you
Mary Smith
Fall pumpkins are here
Autumn air is crisp and cool
Scarecrows scare the crows

we feel it coming
raindrops bursting in moon dust
mud soon, mud always

Two swans in a marsh
White feathers on cold water
They circle to shore.

Reveal diamonds on blue waves
Bright nocturnal gems

root's unseen in ground

We search for our Minotaurs
Turning thoughts within

The banana strips,
yellow dress dropped to the floor--
this comic prelude

Broken like clockwork
A bleeding, exposed nail bed
Healing as I grow.

Tiniest hammer
Locked in a bullet-proof room
At war with glass walls.
Tyson West
tatters of typhoon
twist the old growth cedar's crown
sailing the moss sea
Carly Holmes
She kept her hood on
and her boots, but lost the dress.
Wild me, she told him.
Kay Cenate
In the mirror lake
My reflected hand holds yours.
The leaves warn of wind.
Nur Nadiah Anwar
When will it all end?
Night by night, tear-stained pillows.
Tiny little pills.

Like Autumnal leaf
shed in soft, silent sorrow
red dress hits the floor
Mark Marrone
infernal water
crashes and foams in splendor
sounds of utter peace

How ironic that
Everything is dying in
Beautiful colors

And then the leaves Fell
ice carpets pale on the road
Silent flakes, time still

Waiting to come home,
Ruck sack packed against the bunk--
there is no one left.

large pampas grasses,
plumes waving in the stiff wind ?
time to change the time

white bark of aspens
powdered with antler velvet-
autumn moon shadows
