CLOSE TO THE WATER!

Close to water and streams,

Delightful fall colors seen….

First in season

Damp is the reason,

Not many are left in green!

AUTUMN COLORS CHANGING

September is upon us,

Time for the change

Of foliage and hairdos

A time to rearrange

Colorful poison ivy

In red and yellow hues,

Myriad of colors

Shocked by frosty blues.

Hair colors a-changing,

Professional or by box…

Strawberry blonde conservatively

Colors vivacious locks.

The girl or guy underneath

Supposedly the same,

Putting a new face on things

A part of living game!

AUTUMN HAIKU HERDING

AUTUMN HAIKU HERDING

–

Fall plantings are in,

Cabbages, hardy mums bloom…

Autumn colors glow!

–

Warm days–cooler nights

Ushering those southward flights…

Noisily birds fly.

–

Harvest time each year,

Dresses and skirts lower hems…

Less yield for the men!

–

Snow birds fly or drive,

Commuting to stay alive…

Rubber tires fly!

–

Children play in leaves,

Hot chocolate sales go up…

Deserted beaches!

–

Eggs and produce come

Veggies come from foreign lands…

Locally–now!

AUTUMN FLORAL POP

AUTUMN FLORAL POP

Yellow, orange and red,

Art planted in flowerbed…

Purple and green

Accent this scene,

To show not everything’s dead.

–

Commercial properties

Ornamentals squeeze…

Right into Fall

Their money’s worth all,

To maximize customer “tease”.
