Outside my window,
The leaves change color, from green
To red, orange, brown.

Windows open wide,
Listening to leaves moving
In the warm breezes.

1 October 2011 (J)

Turning the lights out,
Walking, at last, through dark rooms,
At last, to my bed.

Asked on a pop-psych
Quiz:  "What's your favorite day?"
My answer:  "Today."

I should sleep now, but
The silence keeps me awake
Late into the night.

Too tired to sleep?
No.  Too lonely, too lonely
Without your presence.

Earlier tonight,
As I read, my eyes fell shut,
Sleeping then, not now.

Freshly-painted walls
For autumn.  The new colors
Often surprise me.

1 October 2011 (D)

When I cannot sleep,
I open my window, and
Fall's breezes soothe me.

1 October 2011 (C)

A dog, or perhaps
Coyote, howls, a lonely,
Distant reminder.

1 October 2011 (B)

A sliver of moon
Hangs in the sky, hidden, then
Revealed by the clouds.

1 October 2011 (A)

Now autumn has come;
Nights grow long, the air has cooled. 
Leaves swirl in the wind.
