I couldn't help but see
the leaves
of the horse chestnut tree
were turning brown
sooner than the rest

On my return
I heard on the radio
that this was due to moss
recently killing
fifty per cent of them

No wonder we're going bonkers
looking for conkers

The sun comes out to play
Enjoy the vitamin D
I hope it will stay

Some visions are absurd

Feeling isolated
turn your mind to a word
such as 'thick' or 'thin'

Dwelling with that word within
the vision might not be so absurd

Some people notice autumn
by the flowers dying down

Some people notice autumn
by flocks of birds flying 'round

Some people notice autumn
from the chill in the air

Some people notice autumn
when the trees become bare

Some people notice autumn
when leaves change colours on trees

Some people notice autumn
when their bodies begin to freeze

I like to peel an orange
and share it around

I don't know why 'Page'
is a girls' name

My spine moves slowly
side to side

'Grace' we say
before we eat

I still can't fathom
how to put my duvet cover on

While sitting
at the side entrance,
the oak tree
towering above me,
I could see
the golden leaves
changing
in the sunlight

Looking down
I saw a robin
and a dragonfly
on a blue hydrangea bush

Autumn
is definitely
on its way

I never use an easel to paint
and now it seems no sense to me
to drink fermented drinks
I have never had a fracture
(touch wood)
for which I am doubly thankful
