AUTUMN ACROSTIC
A squirrel gathers acorns among
Umber oak leaves as
Temperatures drop
Under cloudy skies
Man and beast prepare for winter
Nature readies for its year end sleep
ACROSTIC
When Sleep Will Not Stay
In those wee morning hours
When sleep will not stay
I fight thoughts like towers
In those wee morning hours
Using my mind power
I chase past ghosts away
In those wee morning hours
When sleep will not stay

Fascinates me
Words full of

Leap silently off the written page
Into hearts and minds

Week#136 Prompt: Carry
The Missing Sock
Rebellion?
A Non-conformist?
Mutany
At its worst?
Not choosing “lost” in the dryer
“Jumps basket” instead
Shadorma
( This poem was inspired because my daughter did some clothes washing at my house yesterday and I thought it quite humorous when I saw this sock laying on the floor after she had picked up her laundry and left.
The reason being was that the little sock had missed going into the laundry basket and she had to pick it up twice to put it in, but then, after she had left, I noticed it was still here–“left behind” on the floor! Seemingly it couldn’t “get lost” in the dryer so it decided to “jump the basket” in an effort to abandon its duties!😊 Just my imagination running wild again, LOL, but it gave me and her a couple laughs!
Hope it does the same for you😊)
Fall Walk in the City
Scarlet leaf,
Such vibrant color,
Lay silently
In my path,
Soon to be one among many
Detached from life,
Unless help comes…
A helping hand reaches
And picks up
Broken dreams,
Offering to be the glue
That restores life.

In Summer’s Wake
Sunshine still streams
Bringing Summerlike weather
On the 1st day of Autumn
Yet, a leaf falls on the path
As if to say Summer’s gone

Last day of Summer 2016
Sun shines so brightly
Upon dew soaked flora
Tis the last day of Summer
Arise! Wake from slumber
Treasure every moment!

From the Inside Out
My inside voice
Got out, and it said:
Amazing
Words of truth
That the world, and you, needed
To hear at that time
