    Between Seasons

    Here, the transition between fall and winter is slow and drawn out.

    Frosty mornings can be followed by warm days.

    Flurries can change into soft showers.

    Heavy rain can become hail.

    One night brings thunder and lightning, another howling winds.

    And it carries on like this.

    Until it doesn’t.

    I’ve fallen behind on my posting, so it’s interesting to look back on this batch of poems from three or four weeks ago. Their mix of imagery seems to clearly reflect this strange in between time.

    Keep reading and see what you think.

    (1)

    the sound of rain
    slightly different now
    I get another blanket


    (2)

    fishbowl
    on the outside
    looking in


    (3)

    descending
    in every window
    a new story


    (4)

    this chill in air
    if only it were
    just winter


    (5)

    boom boom daddy
    wooooow
    first thunderstorm


    (6)

    carried away
    in the waiting room
    a violin crescendo


    (7)

    changing my tires
    I lean into the smell
    of a wood stove
