first taste of autumn
I don my favorite boots
open all the windows
~~~
empty teacup
a taste of honey
lingers on the spoon
first taste of autumn
empty teacup
Autumn Retreat Day 30
autumn colors
fading into winter shadows
lonely evening
Autumn Retreat Day 29
autumn farewell
each wave kissed by the sun
break of day
Autumn Retreat Day 28
last of autumn
maple leaves traced in ice
crunch underfoot
Autumn Retreat Day 27
this autumn mist
even the birds abandon
their nests
Autumn Retreat Day 26
this autumn evening
the caged dove laments
his lost freedom
Autumn Retreat Day 25
cool winds blow
dune grasses bow
to season’s end
Autumn Retreat Day 24
departing autumn
Fomalhaust’s brillance
begins to tarnish
Formalhaust is the leading star in the constellation Pieces. Fomalhaut can be found low in the southeast not long after night falls, and due south around midnight. There are no other bright stars or planets nearby, so it’s easy to locate the bright star of the autumn nights.
