Writer, poet, mother, dog-mother, concerned about the planet, writes fantasy but doesn't believe in it.
Soft day of light falling,
veiled sun, and the river
like a silent sea.
 
Jackdaws clack the sky
with black wings,
egrets stand white-mirrored,
 
and we rouse secret deer
in the long grass, the sound
of galloping hooves
 
fading into the trees
and quiet,
like endings should be.

Summer slumps weary
fiery fingers slipping
hanging by the slender canes of vines
last grapes drying
mouse-harvested.

Poem 💙 📚 for today.
Autumnal

Gold and blue
the waves of this meadow sea
and ocean sky

whispering
with the papery hiss
of falling leaves.
