life happens.
It’s fall, it’s midterms
It’s election time.

New Haven’s giving a lot of fall.
I’ve been starting to feel the chills,
but things are turning cold and extra breezy,
so it all maks sense.

The good and bad can coexist closely,
is our energy dropping? Nope.

Whenever I think of voting,
I go back to American Idol.
My first voting experience.
It was 2009 and I was 14.
I was into Adam Lambert.
he didn’t win, and sure, I felt
a child's appreciable sense of outrage
millions and millions of us did
but we didn’t storm FOX Network
We cried into pillows and took it in stride.
Now Adam sings with Queen.
So I guess it worked out.

The one flower
Outside the window
Has turned to dust.

Lovers fell like leaves
Slowly— and then suddenly
just to drift apart.

It flutters,
It falls;
They pile so high.
Like a beautiful
Orange-red
Melody.
Something fall-related for you lovelies, have a great day!

Finding love is like Halloween
Roaming the street in your best costume
Knocking on strangers doors
Asking them trick or treat
Until you find the one you feel comfortable
Taking the mask off with

Winter

In your frozen clutch
Existence can lay restful
Awaiting rebirth.


Spring

Life from the Aether
Quarreling over the warmth
Of our nearest star.


Summer

Blazing heat arrives
Boiling me inside and out
Autumn, I need you.


Autumn

You keep me centered.
Your crisp embrace surrounds me.
Filling me with peace.

Jack-o-lantern love,
stabbed by the autumn leaves;
bleeding all burnt orange and sienna.
And it smells like
cloves and vanilla,
and loneliness. Kaleidoscope confusion,
that dog bite pain
in my soul.
I don my navy blue corduroy,
as I bundle up for
the great void.

Here's a ;ink to my you tube channel where I read from my recently published book, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, available on Amazon.com
Wintertime is cold
Chilly, cold, might even snow
Wear your winter gear


Springtime is anew
Flowers bloom and warmer days
Blue skies with Sunrays


Summer is Humid
Hot, Exhausting, and Draining,
Uncomfortable


Autumn resembles
Cooler temps and shorter days
A time for Harvest
