What's the Special Taste

Leaves still on the trees;

Still falling, floating to earth--

Never ending Fall.

Wind is soft, easy;

The trees respond by bowing--

A peaceful Autumn.





















What's the special taste
That Olivia enjoys

When she licks Collette?

Getting to his knees
Billy goat enjoys the plants
Just over the fence.


















The sky has darkened
And now the wind is rising;

When will the rain come?






















The emperor stump
Now ringed by his tall courtiers.

(My, these kids grow fast).

I swallowed several bugs;

Was indifferent to their taste.

(I don't want seconds.)

These clever mushrooms

Disguise themselves as dead leaves.

(Why do they do that?)
