Have you gotten your copy of Séduire: Serial Tales & Flash Fiction at Lulu in E-Book & Paperback versions, or Amazon in Paperback (only) yet?
I am on Substack as well. Poking the Bear’s Belly for Fun is a place of healing as I speak about recent events with a previous place of employment, as it pertains to racism and discrimination, growth from the transition after resigning from that company, and life’s foibles and overall experiences. I welcome your visit.
Autumn has gotten comfortable enough to undress,
to finally tame the seasonal shift.
It does this with the perfect amount of finesse.
Autumn has gotten comfortable enough to undress.
We find ourselves somehow stressing less,
and this is truly the perfect gift.

Autumn’s wings
the chill in the air
is what I live for; the
wind that picks up
moves in the right
direction for me to
glide on it
gracefully.
I walk on Autumn’s
wings, at peace
with the calm that
comes with it.
the love given to a bonsai tree
have you ever pondered the life of a bonsai tree?
contained and pruned regularly to stay alive.
the love it must take to have
someone tend to what you need
at the exact moment you need it
is nothing short of humane.
your livelihood is built around the
caring heart of a human being who
spares time to pour into you
what they may not pour into others.
isn’t that remarkable?
how many of us would thrive in a small container,
shaped and structured to fit our home—safe,
secure, and sturdy throughout many years ahead?

children kick balls
on the resurfaced street,
dressed for winter.
the dog sleeps, wakes
to be walked and fed.
I watch cartoons–animated
movies with Christmas trees
taller than my building
on screen.

haiku-lune chain
the foggy sunrise
awakens a dewy morn
heaven on this earth
captured by its light
sun-filled clouds
rain down on our heads
an autumn morning
cold as ice
freezes our quick steps
bruised, blue fingertips
covered in cotton-thin gloves
pockets are their home
a new day bursts through
the sun lives
it breathes once again
