THE FLAMES OF AUTUMN

By Sue Vincent and Charles Robert Lindholm 

Can you see
the first golden
flames of autumn
start to show
as the leaves burn and turn
into glorious colors
as summer drifts away
on the memories of yesterdays

through the leaves
the splendour of mid-autumn
no thoughts for winter

Fall’s Fingers

Long fingers of fall
Reach, curling—coppered, gilt-edged,
Weathered verdigris—
Chilly grip mocks sun’s pert rays.
Winter’s spirit—muffled glee;
Azure breaths, he blows my way….
