the forest's quilt ... the crickets lasted until nearly november this year; a last chirp heard on october's twenty-seventh day. it was early evening, when the coolness strikes quick; and the gravel-gray skies begin to grow darker still. indian summer's gloried days fell again without fear; our sun's annual battle with itself never goes away. with leaves all but gone, only their memories left to stick; in my mind the colors aflame to warm my winter's grill. green's metamorphosis hinged upon a lessening of light; when the earthen couturier comes dressing the trees. a wardrobe's fantasy of nature's encore performance; yet subtlety imbues a keen interest in shading hues. hazel turned olive turned coppered maples so slight; then plum brown, burnt orange and umber let free. valleys of crimson between gold-capped oaks enhance; the forest's quilt, made fresh again for our views. M.A. Miller 10.18.00 < !signature--> My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

A wonderful description!...and with a perfect title I think. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |
