above me, leaves twitch

in the wind — how much longer

will the world be green?

by Kelly

red I’ve seen today:

sumac berries, day lily,

cardinal in a tree 

by Kelly

What’s that shock of red?

early tulips in full bloom —

I’m eager for change

by Kelly

how bright the yellow

of my neighbor’s daffodils —

spring, please come faster

by Kelly

How many hours have

I spent inspecting my roots?

the sky, too, turns gray

by Alison

grey clouds hang heavy

over a blackened river -

all the rest is blue

by Kelly

white birch, blue sky

green pine, orange maple — autumn

intensifies life

by Kelly

I reverted to

my natural color — brown.

Now grays are showing.

by Kelly

reds oranges yellows

at the tips of maple trees —

end of August blues

by Kelly

not brown and not green

something oddly in between —

color of my eyes
