This is our homework for class


SUNSET TO SILENCE


Sunset in forest
one can only imagine
horizons are lost
and all of the day remains
in distant tree tops yellowed

Autumn's colored skies
burning by descending sun
nature's power shows
reflected off falling leaves
of orange of red of bronze

Such is a gnarled oak
squirrel's home in a hollow
fresh acorns abound
gathered into storage room
food supply through wintersleep

Fragile woven webs
season of cross spiders
catching little flies
in fine threads of entrapment
glistening with morning dew

Silence before storm
a moment of inner peace
before hell breaks loose
and frees old water once more
from its cyclical blue rage

I await the snow
under clear blue autumn sky
and red of apples
sometimes showing a brown spot
frontdoor of a bug's safe house

Snuggle under down
keep the crisp air at your nose
and dream spring meadows
sipping wine close to hot stove
what more is there to wish for

Thanks to you all.
It was real fun to write with Krawdad and to my amazing it didn't take any time really.

I wrote some lines and he completed them and the other way around. It only took two emails  

Thanks Krawdad for being such a delightful co-writer. See you in octoberclass.
