morning

scampering squirrels gathering their morning meal
late summer sun uncurls its toes
dewy grasses rise, refreshed again
another day is born.

bewitchıng

blushing russet, and vermilion tinged leaves
attest autumn's bewitchıng has begun
as maple, oak, and ash
succumb
to her hypnotic charm

the teacher

deftly traveling
the slope of the student's
written landscape
she
suggests shadows and pigments
and rays of the harvest moon
with only a fine tip pen
