Poetry and Pictures: A Farewell to Autumn

A thrown for the Autumn Queen!  A hidden treasure trove Are you on my turf? Well get off!

AUTUMN  By Eva Getman Upon the sky  so brightly splayed, the colors  of Autumn leaves. They fall  to the ground  in glorious waves  stirred  by a gentle breeze. Red, Orange,  Yellow, and Green! A thrown for the  Autumn Queen! Canada Geese  take to the wing flying south  for a winter's rest. All this we see,  sipping cider and tea,  while the sun  sets in the west. And as night falls,  the light is kept by jack-o-lanterns  aglow. We rush outside,  candles in hand,  to joyfully greet  the first snow.

Sunrise on the first snow Five different trees in the fall.  ... munch... munch, munch.... **

The sentinel squirrel watched this human intruder closely.  It was his job to bring a report back to the queen...

...The queen waited impatiently for her sentinel to return with a report on this strange new danger.

The November Super Moon as it was rising. **

The Super Moon as it was setting over the mountains. **

We don't know what kind of hawk this is, but isn't it majestic?

I thought this Meadowlark looked so pretty framed by the emerald grass.      Upon the mountain far above there was an angel bright, dressed in silver and white, she sang her song of light. Image Credits: Eva Getman, ** Dan Getman
