“Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul… but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October.”
― Peggy Toney Horton

September Leaves for Daily Photo

Leaves of summer
Now leaves of fall
In colourful schemes
Or so it seems
For not too long
Will they go strong
Onto the ground
Their way will be found
And with the groundskeeper’s rake
Into a tall mound
Eventually transforming
Slowly metamorphosing
Catching sleep
Oh so very deep
Through the white winter
Not even a splinter
Can be found
But slowly when Spring time
They come a live
And fill the trees
With all new leaves

“There’s something that’s really fun about the challenge of making the mundane funny, too, I think”
Jim Gaffigan

Mundane Monday

“Oh, yet another Monday!”
She sighed heavily when

Through the looking glass
Call it a window, alas
Suburbia covered with mist
Possibly a thoughtful gift
By the weather gods
Playing a naughty trick

“Well, better get out there, and face whatever may fare!”
And off she went

Stubbornly,
Trying to put as many dents
Getting through Monday
Not another fun-day
Luckily,
Monday only happens
Once a week!

“I’m a terrible singer, but it helps when I have to call a taxi” Gordon Getty

Little Red Taxi Bike for Daily Photo

Sitting pretty,
For everyone’s like
The proud little red taxi bike
Cleaned and polished
Some say,
Even a little snobbish

It may be admired
And highly inspired
But
When the lights are off
It’s time to go soft

And start dreaming
Of the busy streets
Riding along
To a different beat

Yellow Close Up for Daily Photo

Little yellow dandelions
Powerful, like lions
Growing strong, despite September
Possibly still yellow, come November

Metal, Wood, Clouds and Sky

The four elements of nature,
Or as defined by us lowly creatures:

Metal: Heavy music, or durable material for construction
Wood: Good for building and nice for shade
Clouds: Fluffy and white, but sometimes grey
Sky: Blue, if you are lucky, grey if it rains
