Cold Snap

Air a bit cooler,
a bit clearer
brighter blue in the sky
more defined clouds, white
shadows longer

Full oak leaves, blowing in the
fall air, laden with ripe fruit
acorns falling, gathered by the squirrels,
heavy with the summer easy pickings

School back in session,
girls growing up,
quieter days at the house
until the gathering mid-afternoon

Red insinuating
within the green
in the maple
in the side yard
just a few, teasing

A change in the weather
before the Indian Summer
before the leaves really change
for their fall fashion show
