thin
gray cold
light glimmers
faintly
in frost
that vanishes
like a
startled thief
leaving
iridescent strands
glowing here
glittering there
on fields
of gold
abandoned |

Thanks, Vixen. I was trying to capture that moment at sunrise when frost melts into dewdrops. Sometimes when I write it helps to have an image in mind. I think that was the process here. Of course with poetry anything can happen.  |

You should be here where I am!!!! This place is transformed right now. I love it! I was walking home yesterday from the bus stop, looking at all of the beautiful colors of leaves, and smelling the smoke from someone's fire place. There is just a cool crispness in the air and I guess I am at my finest hour. Not hot, not cold, but just right!!!! Sam |

I had almost forgotten about this poem, Pamela.
Yes, it is starting to cool off again. Autumn on its way.
One sure sign of the changing seasons here is when the sumac begins to turn red. I kind of prefer this time of year, with the mornings cool and the afternoons still warm. Should last until late October, if all goes well.
