Spring Again


The sky begins
To rumble
The earth breaks
And begins to crumble
Bulbs push up
To soak in rain
And signs now show
Spring returned again

The Steps

We are not sure
We wait with uncertainty
We listen to sounds unheard
As the world still does not know
What challenges we face …

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

My Best
displayed are venders best
My run was a different quest
I managed to improve my race
shaved 2 min per mile pace

Apple Farm

The old red barn
Has lost some charm
The bare cupboards
sound alarm .
As the day of plenty
Is now in the past
The smell of yesterday
Somehow still last
Handkerchiefs are gone
Crochet by hand
The tiny baskets
No longer stand
The apples still ripen
And the pears still fall
Mask are all worn
But not by all
Poets and artist
Will record this time
When people passed
And the need to be kind.
