November Browns

November
Brings brown.
Brun branches.
Taupe trees.
Tan tall grass.
Dirt brown ground.
Stone stones.
Brown is beautiful.
Against baby blue skies.

Pastel, 5x7, $110.

Vignette: Chambermaid

SMALL VIGNETTES:
People at work.

Clean up.
Straighten up.
Fold up the towels.
Wipe up the counter.
Make up the bed.
Fluff the pillows
...leave a chocolate.

It's Raining Leaves

A quiet street. Not a soul around.
But the leaves put on a show anyway.
Like acrobats they glide thru the air,
flying with the greatest of ease.
Like dancers they pirouette,
turning, and whirling.
Done- they nosedive, nudged by the wind.
And like trained pilots,
land with precision,
on a runway of pillows-
red, orange, yellow and green.

Pastel, 5x7, $100.

Farms and fences and foliage.

Farm Fresh- egg crates, pastel

Simplicity.
A sepia scene.
But 2010.
At an inn
in a barn
breakfast was served.
Egg crates, egg white bucket.
Not an egg in sight.
But I could taste 'em.
They were farm fresh.

Patriots, Rah-Rah-Sis-Boom-Ba, football team, field goal, pastel

Teams.
They play. We cheer.

Lonely Summer Porch, pastel

Well, it's over.
Summer.
How can that be?
Still warm.
Flowers still.
Shells on a pillow.
Bees are buzzing.
But Labor Day said,
"It's over."
