20 September 2022 (fall)

first day of fall

the dead snake’s tail

still twitching

30 September 2020 (gale)

fall as a verb

crickets chanting

within the gale

October 26: Front door decor

Window box flowers

clashing with Indian corn,

Halloween pumpkin.

October 16: Fall

Imprints of the fallen

leaves on the sidewalk

Ghost season

November 4: Late harvest

Indoor farmer's market--

piles of squash and pumpkins,

bouquet of rose hips.

October 4: Here in the north

The sky has lost all color.
Moth on the screen
looks like a fallen leaf.

October 1: Harvest

Bins of pumpkins, apples,

six kinds of squash.

We talk in the car.

September 15: Feels like fall

Harvest Moon tomorrow.

Chipmunk storing seeds

in the empty birdhouse.

October 4: Stonington, Day Three

Barred Island Preserve

 

Only fall's chill

keeps me from rolling in that moss,

swimming at that beach.

under this full moon

apples ripen

birds dream of the jungle

September 1: Les Fraises

Rural, farm-covered L'Ile D'Orleans in the St. Laurence River is the farm basket of Quebec. Strawberries are one of the specialties, with two seasons: summer and fall. After visiting L'Ile D'Orleans today, I checked out the permanent farmers' market near the Old Port Quebec, where I bought a cup of fresh strawberries and ate them on the spot. They tasted of summer, even as the season begins to turn to fall.

 

Strange to start September

here in Canada

with farm-fresh strawberries.
