The Autumn’s Hanging On A Little Longer

Sunday sonnet — Some years, the tree’s green leaves are piled with snow while still up on the tree.

Winter Wind Blows Autumn Far Downstream

Sunday sonnet — The leaves have fallen. Coldness we have seen. There’s still some color left for me and you with reds and yellows, browns and evergreen. Breathe deeply, for there’s plenty more to do. We’ve had a couple warm and sunny days though look behind and winter’s watching you. It’s sixty-one degrees. I hope…
