Summer is Over

 

 

Squirrel doesn't  get it--
Bird feeder is not for him.
He keeps on trying

 

 

 `

 

 

 

They can't get enough
These hungry birds keep eating;
Summer is over.

 

They always take turns--
Hungry birds waiting in line--
Politeness or fear?

 

Last to lose its leaves
And the last to regain them--
Seasonal clock.

 

 In his own shadow
Fallen chipmunk is sleeping,
Never to awake.

 

They come one by one
These leaves floating from the trees
To carpet the woods.

 

Silent as the leaves
One drop of rain falls on me
As the sun brightens.

 

Halloween mailbox
Welcomes the eerie season
With a creepy plant.
