Delicate smile

glows brightly

sinks down 

into a rosé 

cloud duvet

fairy tale sky

First Flight

Into early morning skies the color of
fine champagne buzzards take
to the air lazily spiraling up
into the skies growing
ever smaller~now
mere dots

Loudly he announces his arrival
bold raucous cry rings out
disturbing our morning peace
~
Bright eyed he flies in alights
scattering small birds who
familiar with his might flee
~
Handsome blue silver knight
but no Lancelot is he
bringing chaos to our realm
~
Methinks I shall name him Mordred
for he came not in peace
but to disturb our blessed kingdom

Early autumn morning
gilded spires rise
up into a pale blue sky
~
Morning breeze carries
the musty scent
of colored fallen leaves
~
Faint scent of wood smoke
enhances this
heady autumnal perfume

Shasta
winter king
seemingly floating
above the far horizon
such grand mountain majesty
bare flanks are now once again
draped in snowy ermine wreathed with
cloudy collars pulled snug against the cold
splendid sight savored on our morning walk this day

Take care of your furred ones~keep them inside
sparing them harm and possible fright
~
Tis All Hallows Eve~ghouls are walking outside
warty wizards appear~casting spells in the night
~
Pumpkins are grinning~baring big teeth
eerily illuminating these dark rainy streets
~
Goblins are roaming ~ loudly ringing the bell
hand them their treats~then bid them farewell
~
Soon the veil thickens~this night~it will end
peace once again~stay safe my dear friends
