2020
A chilly blustery day as I warm myself
in front of early morning fire.
The dark mornings and quiet house
lends me to reflect.
We are in tumult times of discord,
turmoil and a horrible virus.
My prayer is somehow this changes
and we wake in early morning healed.

Tom Sawyer
Tom Sawyer would be proud
Of the curiosity he shows
His wonder and discovery
A small rock he throws
Standing an looking
He thinks once more,
To collect another rock and
throws off to distant shore.
Dedicated to my Grandson

Fog
Autumn wears many faces
As the mornings lift
Into fog and mist.
Leaves now shuffle in sound
Dry enough to drop
Below the mothering tree.
Cool breeze will make way
To a warmer day
Reluctant to begin.
Black walnuts fall below
Your feet in surprise
Causing this runner to skip
By so not to fall…

Refreshing
I started out cold
And began to run
Right before the rising sun
As I ran I did not mind
The chill turned into
A refreshing time
Of lights and trees
And autumn sounds
While Golden leaves
Fell on the ground

Running with Autumn
About the time
The geese took flight
The cold wind blows
And the whistle sounds
In early morning night
Chilly Morning
Steam climbs in harmony
With the flicker from the fire
Autumn chill is lingered now
I challenge my will to inspire
A run …

The Pumpkin
A magic orange, a pick’s delight,
An Autumn prize, a beautiful sight.
A lot of love was chosen that day
among the gourds and leaves and hay.
Which one to chose and take home
a prize that stands out alone.
Now it sits with lights adorned
Right next to the dish with candy corn.

Autumn Wish
If you follow my blog
And I hope you do
I want to thank you !
Autumn has come
The leaves are turning
Covid 19 is still churning
Politics raging
Nothing to do
But vote, it depends on you
We will still wake
On November the 4th
We will still as people go forth
With a run and a prayer
And awaking to hope
Our people will survive and cope
Green and orange
River still flows
🏃♀️ Runners still forge and know
If we get up
And go on
The road is there
To make it a strong

Autumn Ritual
The fire is lit
The fall has come
The days grow short
At the setting sun
The witches howl
The children play
Sweaters are worn
For the chilly days
Time will rearrange
As seasons show off
The colors change
