Around the Corner

 

a hint of winter lays on the

ground with a early frost,

squirrels scamper from

tree-to-tree in wild oblivion

making sure all is well,

future homemakers sell

cookies door-to-door...  a

parent's vehicle shadows...

music from the band

filters through the air of

the homecoming game

and cars parked along the

are not disturbed either...

heroes are made off and

on the field as the former

is sold for five and a quarter,

cats perch on the window sill

of the home in which they live

watching others prance around

outside their territories...  

straw covers newly sewn seed

morning moisture gives it life

and the winds out of the

northeast indicate that something

is on the way...  pumpklns on

front porches sit along with

spider webs and ghosts waiting

for the screams of children when

they are not so easy to see...  the

fun is always just around the corner

from where we presently are now.
