Last Drink of Summer



High noon and it's cold;
Sun is breaking through the trees;
Brisk wind shakes leaves
.
 
Dead leaves litter lawn--
Brown detritus of Autumn;
More keep on falling.
A beacon of red 
Shines up amidst the dead brown:
A lone last clover. 



Autumn is shadows,
Shadows and falling dead leaves,
And crushed fuzzy bears.
 
Thistle is blooming;
A lone bee buzzes softly:
Last drink of summer.
Old stump is concealed
By dead brown and live green leaves;
The leaves keep falling.

 
Shadow on the rail--
Pale rail and very bright sun;
Still the falling leaves.

Sitting on the lawn,
Framed by the sun and shadows,
Children in their class.
