Rain dripping slowly
Fallen leaves receive, glisten
Grace-filled solitude
A Late October Morn
October 28, 2012———
Moon begins my day Playfully bouncing light beams Through frost-laden treesOnly one doctor for us
October 25, 2012Visit to Retinalogist
Waiting room filled Some impatient, antsy Reading Others dilated Anxious or bored Waiting Doctor and technicians scurrying Room to room Pulling files Scanning Names called out Doors opening and closing Hundreds of patients for him Work tedious Repetitious But only one doctor for us Often dependent Always grateful© 2012 Thomas W.

Fall Fishing
October 2, 2012A swirl down deep
Dark-green in the black water
An occasional flash
Sun striking the fish
Scales luminous
Magnifying
Blue-white line cuts the surface
Slashing a z-like pattern
Mimicking the frenzy below
Rod bending, resisting
Pulling in a beautiful creation
Quickly released
Vanishing into the darkness

A chorus of birds
Serenades the morning star
Distant train joins in
