Cozy Contemplations - 17. Chapter 17 Imminent Arrival

Winter is coming... some Tankas to celebrate. :) 

Cozy Contemplations

 

 

Chapter 17 Imminent Arrival

 

 

 

Ode to Buckthorn

 

Black berries abound

Squishing unavoidable

As laden branches

Slowly lighten their bounty

Along my peppered walkway

 

 

 

Ceasefire

 

Temporarily

A truce is implemented

As nature retreats

Pruner and mower retired

Until spring glory bursts forth

 

 

Haunting

 

Sudden stream of air

Careens indecisively

Through silent forest

Magnifying eeriness

As it sets me shivering

 

 

Harbinger

 

The smell of fall rain

Is so different from spring’s

Infused with decay

Declaring and reminding

All living things have their time

 

 

Slippers

 

Condensation drips

And a cloud forms from warm breath

Fogging the window

Suggesting it’s time for wool

And firing up the furnace

The sporadic chill of fall has descended. It's my favorite time of year.

 Great snapshots of fall. I love the images of nature you paint with words.

Thanks, Terry. I am definitely a child of nature. It was often my refuge in a stormy, oft-uncertain childhood. In the magical kingdom of the woods, I felt safe, :hug:
