tastes Aberdeen's North Sea beach
waits for November

Bright autumn sunlight
Ironing out morning chill
Dad lay still and cold

brisk muffled crackling

red and yellow hues
jarring waltz steps slow...

Grey skies spill cold drops.
Early autumn blossoms smile
at the weeping sky.

Autumn loneliness
Windswept trees - bleak vistas yet
Chrysanthemums bloom

caved face too grotesque
no smile to greet the children
pumpkin carved too soon

October grey skies
on the petals of flowers
raindrops pattering

red flag of autumn
pirouettes through the chill air
warning of winter

Bitter autumn wind
Sinks teeth into summer's end.
Leaves visibly flinch.

Leaves visibly flinch.
Autumn is artwork;
Golden sunsets and cool nights
Leaves fall and take flight

Leaves fall and take flight
Sleeping in the shade
Messages on falling leaves
No good place to hide

November the first -
descending down a dry leaf
a very slow snail

a very slow snail
Diffuse morning light
Cobweb adorned dewy grass
Autumn's early kiss

Autumn's early kiss
morning without song
heart shaped leaves a deeper red
an autumn day dawns

harvest moon beckons
spring tide crests aureate banks
brown leaves ride her wake

cold fog rises from the earth
among the tombstones

among the tombstones
grey day tossing clouds
maple leaves spin across yards
motion absent change

October twilight
white pines fogged with lake water
a distant chain saw

nature's amber draped canvas
masterpiece of leaves

The darkening sky
softly exhales its last wish

the warm golds and crisp crimsons
I mistook for leaves

I mistook for leaves
Explosion of reds
Late autumnal fireworks
Rapid change in hue

November's last glow
burning leaves swirl fragrant smoke
beauty and ashes

Pumpkin body parts
Loosening my resistance
Sway to the music

Sway to the music
wonderful climbers
if autumn clouds were lower
squirrels might reach them

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

autumn moon shadows
Like Autumnal leaf
shed in soft, silent sorrow
red dress hits the floor
shed in soft, silent sorrow
red dress hits the floor
