Autumn’s Arrival

Posted on September 23, 2013September 23, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Autumn Woman — No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face.
~John Donne

Autumn arrived yesterday all aglow
Dressed in red, orange, brown and yellow

A pallet of color she held in her hand
and she used it to change the scape of my land.

A bounty of fruit she left in her wake
the abundance of which I could freely take

Color so vibrant brought my senses alive
Autumn! I am so glad you chose to arrive!

On This Day

Posted on September 21, 2013September 21, 2013 by Leonas Lines

On this day, in the morn,
Fourty short years ago,
A tiny child was born.
On this day in the morn,
The title Mom was first worn,
And I was all aglow,
On this day in the morn,
Fourty short years ago.
Triolet

September 21, 1973,
Was quite a special day for me.
It was a day like no other,
For that’s when I first became a mother.
