appreciative audience

clinging leaves applaud the

sight of

ducks swimming up autumn's cold creek

wind tossed leaves

fall

zigzagging down

below freezing, slight frost

a taste

returning heroes

silent stories hidden;

their hearts -

welcomed always by their loved ones

who question

why

they had to leave

The question is not so much why they had

to leave as it is; Why is there war?

bone chilling

at five the sun is gone

the dusk

becomes shucked husk bearing no fruit

clouded sky

shows

no moon or stars

peons must

be

the new stewards

From the Urban Dictionary

peon: Someone with the lowest social standing, such that

commoners may pee on them with impunity. One social level

below serfs, untouchables, and freshmen.

Note: In the US. The election is now complete. So divided were

the people that if the other candidate won - this ditty would still fit -

(opinion wise). The people must be diligent to keep ill winds at bay.

perspective

mute rainbow keeps falling -

yellow,

reds, browns; piled high by the rake

autumn chore

as

daylight, clocks shift
