From around the world  Colored shapes gather and amaze  Fantasy parade

At the ocean’s edge  Rhythmic tides come in and go  Instructions on life

A burst of color  Impossible to ignore  Aspens wave farewell

Chatterbox magpie  Scratch hopping on a tin roof  Briefly eye to eye

Sky blue pink morning  A brief greeting to the day  Somehow feels hopeful

Gentle forest road  Adorned with changing colors  Irresistible

Fire on the mountain  Blazing red sumac ignites  Its fall surrender

Never imaginedA walk around a lake’s bendWould surprise a moose

A gaggle of geese  Gather to preen, stretch and feed  Flashing white bottoms

Standing together  Best friends support each other  Solid as a rock
