"Tumbleleaf"
One lonely leaf, only thus; Out of place,
prairie, lost.
Surprising, its sound heard, gently.
Here rolling within a Northern current.
Tips turning & tumbling, days gone by,
on the prairie of old appearing.
Alone, unusual would be a person
walking along the dirt road , tis naught.
Like a starfish on its side, tumblefish.
Prancing, dancing atop pebbles, slo-ward now.
A sheriffs' badge amidst turf, misplaced.
Adrift, aloft airstreams balancing.
Tightrope spinner, apart from his own kind;
Controlled, swift in his stride, Tumbleleaf.
Throes & streaks, blossomy dust.
Quickly, pass & revue-over, passed.
Tumbleleafs' voyage anon;
This spinning wheel-leaf could-forever.
Maelstrom carrier, winding along.
Merry in the way, striding now
jockeying to, not fro, joyful motion.

Poetry: Nature's seasons
Apollo, how you drive your chariot across the sky
That blazes with the Summer's sun
And nurtures life for all that run
This
by Jishi Santos
Nature's seasons are four in all,
Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall.
Varied, exciting colorful and real,
nature's seasons
Nature's seasons
Winter, cold, icy, full of snow
Toddy for the body, don't you know
Just a wee bit of Irish Whiskey
To keep
by Shirley Love
SPRING creeps up slowly, then bursts forth in glory,
Nurtures new life and rejuvenates old.
SUMMER is lazy, days hot and hazy,
Heat
Seasons
The turning leaves float on the breeze
Among the changing colors of the trees
The autumn sky goes on and on
Fallen leaves
