Fall 2011 - First Day of Class

Waiting for my English course to start
the weather does not yet know it is Fall
sitting by the window was a mistake
I wonder if I could listen from outside...




No wind comes in but I look out
A row of Japanese Maples
branches full of red leaves
shake and rock in the breeze
Tree tops resist surrender
to the encroaching shade
cast by surrounding roof tops.

Loyal Employ

Tired hound
......your day is done

Lay your head
..........you need stir no more

Shut your eyes
..............your watch is up

May dreams be swift
................and carry you far

Sleep well and sound
............take rest while you can

Tomorrow, rise up
........we'll begin again

Staring at the Wall

Should I be concerned...



With what appears before my eyes?
