Corroded Oak leaves
Rustle in the autumn breeze
Rusted to their trees
autumn
17th November 2018
Leaves of burnished bronze
Tumble down devil’s dumble
Entwined in fern fronds
16th November 2018
Ash and chestnut stripped
And these rusty old oak leaves
Are all that remain
11th November 2018
Short little day draws
Lazy curtains hide the flaws
Sudden darkness falls
9th November 2018
A mottled feather
I look up as you swoop off
Now we’re barbed and hooked
8th November 2018
As green becomes brown
Field mice burrow underground
Autumn’s fallen crown
7th November 2018
Under cold hard stones
Crawling through tangled brambles
Clamber our way home
