Cliff Notes
Life is like the leaves
breath and chance and sweet romance
in and out we weave
Finish my coffee
feed the cat to stop her squeak
fix her wanting wheel
My progress raises
some questions of gestation
and delivery
I figure that grass
is herbal meditation
for slowing the fast
While coffee’s flowing
liquid speed in legal form
sanctioned by the law
But that’s just within
what’s the jive around and bout
out in nature’s hood
Spring sprungs from brown ground
first pinks and yellow sparkles
then the reds and whites
Summer steeps in sun
lazy licks and likes and fun
with your special one
Fall autumn red leaf
yellow tree drops one gold tear
grass green with envy
Winter smacks us low
nasty ice and biting snow
nowhere nice to go
