A hurricane rages,
Churning the sky, dropping temps.
Happy Halloween.

#305

The windchimes go mad
As armies of leaves scuttle,
Attacking passing cars.

#304

The wind has picked up,
And the skies have grown more gray,
On the edge of storms.

#303

The Frankenstorm looms,
Arms stretching farther inland
Than anyone thought.

#302

Waiting at the door
Are painted pumpkin faces
Welcoming you in.

#301

A chilly wind brings
An end to our warm fall days;
This is more normal.

#300

Re-thinking money;
Dreaming, scheming, make ends meet.
It's hard to get by.

#299

The urge to write,
As large as a crashing wave
That buries cities.

#298

Rain falls like kisses;
Thunder rumbles like purring.
The world is a cat.

#297

Reading by the window;
Rain falls across the water;
Deceptive quiet.

#296

Thus two years have passed;
So much has happened since then,
And we still miss you.

#295

Same day every year,
But, for me, never gets old:
Happy birthday, me!

#294

A new life era,
Exciting and different,
Quickly approaches.

Pumpkin, cranberry,
Baked into a delicious,
Moist and scrumptious scone.

#292

A gentle fall rain
On a quiet evening
Goes well with hot tea.

Tuesday, October 16, 2012

#291

A hot mug of tea
Is soothing to the soul and
Also the stomach.

#290

Mysterious sounds
Emanating from above.
Cat listens closely.

#289

A day of nothing,
With no travels nor functions,
Shall be well cherished.

#288

The weekend arrives,
When the rest of the world rests,
And no news will come.

Friday, October 12, 2012

#287

Feeling powerless
Makes waiting so much harder.
When will news arrive?

#286

Time slips easily
When there is a lot to do
And life is busy.

#285

A bowl of ice cream
Waits patiently in the freezer
To sooth aching souls.

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

#284

On the day after,
I feel sore and exhausted;
There is much to do.

#283

A black SUV
Can cause a lot of damage
When running red lights.

#282

A day spent with art
And surrounded by fall leaves
Is indeed lovely.

#281

Even a full moon
Cannot shed light upon this
Darkened parking lot.

#280

Found in my pocket,
A coin from a far-off place,
Brings dreams of travel.

#279

A super long day
Filled with labor at two jobs
Is too exhausting.

#278

The geese keep honking.
Is it not yet cold enough?
Fly south already!

#277

A day at the zoo,
Chilly, but with fine weather,
Is well spent with friends.

What is this new thing?
Powder that comes in a tin:
Pumpkin chai latte.
