I seldom share my actual writing in these blogs. Mostly, that’s because if I do, I can’t enter the writing into contests or submit them other places for publication because if I make them available via Facebook or via blogs/personal websites, regardless of how many/few people read them, most places consider that being “published.”
This month, however, I just feel like sharing a couple of little things, so I’m going for it. A haiku that I’ve not published anywhere before, and a longer poem that was featured in Black Moon Magazine, in their inaugural issue in February 2021. I hope that you enjoy them! Happy Fall!

Majestic Maple
Majestic maple
Slight winds rustle, leaves let go
Float like fiery flame.

Golden Time
October nights
Dip below
Freezing.
That magical
Sweet refrain
Of Fall…
Cardinal song
Engages,
Awakes
Before morning
Comes again
To day:
Steel slate grayness
Where sunshine
Will be.
And in that flash,
Ev’rything
Dawns bright.
In an instant,
Leaves catch flame;
Light shafts
Ignite trees, ground;
The sun’s warmth
Bathes all
In new morning.
Golden time.
Sun-fire.
