A view

 

Cold crisp afternoon

grey stone buildings bleached by a

sunken autumn sun.

It rains

 

Interminable

rain, eroding memories

of warm summers past.

Rain, rain go away

.

Crisp, dry leaves yield to

soggy slippery mush. Rain!

enough already.

It’s coming

 

Summer’s memories

locked away and discarded;

face up to Winter.

Invisible

.

In the grey city

under heavy Autumn skies

anonymity.

Decay

 

In Autumn woodlands

there is a force gathering

plotting destruction.

EU Autumn

Torn from slumber, green

leaves not ready to detach

fight on to remain.

Silver

.

First frost glistening

in green pastures and the cows 

lazily grazing.

In late October

Westonbirt Arboretum

leafy canopies

display their red, gold and green

magnificence, for our joy.

From the train window

yellow-grey skies hint at the

darkening Autumn.
