Autumn leaves
This year, the leaves feel new.
I have seen them every fall
as far back as I can remember,
but this year
the colors are different,
more vibrant.
They stand out in a way
that I have never seen.
I tried to take a picture -
Orange
I didn’t know the moon could be orange
Not the color of a pumpkin, not quite
Almost a pumpkin pie, but translucent
With silver shining through
It wasn’t full
But made even more beautiful
By the imperfection -
Spinning
Spinning and spinning and spinning
Light feet, dancing on the ground
The dangerous game of balance
One wrong step, a slip, a fall
Streaks of colors
The same tree, over and over again -
Pink
6:10 9/4
I never knew a sunrise could be pink.
The photos can't do it justice.
Let’s start from the top.
Blue sky, streaked with white clouds.
A band of pale yellow, almost golden. -
Sunrise
Have you ever seen the sunrise over the mountains?
Green valley, spotted with purple lupines
Ruby red cardinal, singing in the trees
The white mountains, painted in shades of blue
Far off clouds, tinged pink underneath -
Boy or Girl
Boy or girlI see on every standardized test
But what if I’m neither
Or I don't know what I am
Or I don't careBoy or girlIs the question asked when I fill out those online quizzes I like
But what if it doesn't matter
