Raindrops cling
To
Branches
Tight
Against
Gravity
Fiercely
Fight
Which way
To turn
Shops in
Every
Direction
Which ones
Are
Worth
Further
Inspection
super tight quarters
almost need to walk sideways
dubious function
Step lightly
Over
Branches
On the
Ground
A
Transient
Puddle
Tree
Is
Found
Those who
Sow
Gratitude
Day by
Day
Reap
Happiness
A multitude
Of
Ways
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Memories
To keep
Alive
All things
Past
So they don’t
Die
Secure in
Minds and
Hearts they
Be
Held closely
So they
Cannot
Flee
In summer at its
Height
Painted Lady
Alights
Flashing colors so
Bright
Always a welcome
Sight
Remnant
Of
Clematis
Bloom
Enough to
Make
Your heart
Swoon
tiniest jewel
iridescent green in flight
blink and you’ll miss it
Shadows know
This door
Quite
Well
In wintertime
They cast
Their
Spell
An escape
Hatch
To the other
Side
Where
Imagination
Does
Reside
