So quickly now
autumn days darken
into fade of evening.
as colder now
bedroom shivvers
succumb to
quilted warmth
whilst fireworks
crack and bang long
into November night
where sleep finds
pillow of dreams
swirling over atmospheric
quiet of radio comfort
Slowly then
mornings light
creeps to waken
the thief of dreams
reality\'s harbinger
radio news beckons
the day\'s treasure
of life to be loved
Outside
my beatiful tulip tree
almost bare of gold
stands proud
amid blanket
of cast-off
rusty golden
season treasures
bounty for
the earthworm
