AUTUMN HARVEST

Photo by S. Auberle

An autumn photo and poem seems appropriate for this rainy day...

SEPTEMBER

so soon come
the shortening days...
fox fur
thickening
apples
beginning
to hang heavy
one maple
already turning
red harbinger
of the long white
to come...

BEAUTY

"Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places to play and pray, where Nature heals and gives strength to body and soul alike."

A NIGHT FOR BASHO

O brightest moon of autumn, all night long
I've strolled around the pond, in search of song.

LOST IN THE PAST

Artwork by S. Auberle

This rainy morning, while looking for something among my volumes and volumes of art and writing from past years (all the way back to when I was seven!) I am finding wonderful things.  Which means, all you artists and writers out there--don't throw away your old stuff.  Believe me, there are gems buried there.  So here is an art piece and a small haiku, written I have NO idea when.  but I like it...


eating a cherry
brought to my tongue that summer
we first tasted love
