#squirrel

Autumn---
a squirrel drops
a nut on my head

#grey

blue sky
changes to grey---
Paul Newman dies

#watch

evening fog---
I watch my neighbor
smoke his waterpipe

#sweat

more Autumn rain---
I wipe the sweat
off my face

#house

Autumn downpour---
I stand under the canopy
of a house for sale

#leader

another bank fails---
we need
a leader

#moon

I rush to buy
her birthday present---
crescent moon

#fly

Autumn waxes---
a fly lies
on its back

#talk

UN assembly meets---
easier to talk
than do

#foster

Autumn---
a foster child
being taught baseball

#second

Autumn's second day---
I admire
a tree's greenery

#witch

Autumn begins---
a witch opens
her curtains

#moon

dawn---I need light
to open my door
a half moon
