Autumn Tendrils, Art by LuAnn Ostergaard
Autumn Musings
A calm hush
a stillness in the air
Summer leaves fallen
and branches bare
Fall feasts overflow
rich and rare
Gardens at harvest
show their wares
Gold harvest moon
glows full and fair
Cornstalks rustle
in cool crispen air
Woodpecker’s shrill
pierces the air
Squirrels stow nuts
for winter fare
Birds travel south
in V’s and pairs
The mouse skitters
the owl stares
Resting in dens
coyote fox and hare
Black bear and cub
lumber to their lair
A better season
than all to compare
For the coming winter
until it is there
