Wind Chimes are Silent

Brown porch railing shines;
Sun glows through the yellow leaves;
Wind chimes are silent.

Reflecting the world--
One drop of water on limb.
Rooster crows at sun.

Those silver tassels
Once waves of glistening light,
Now becoming dry.












Brown leaf and dead snake
Lie together on the road.
Plane hums high above.

Even evergreens
Are not always ever green.
They yellow and die.











Last leaf on the tree
Desiccated, brown and frail,
Just won't give it up.










With its flagpole tail
Chipmunk races across road.
I know it's watching.


Leaf falls silently;
Sun glows through the yellow bush;
Blades of grass glisten.
