Willows and Rain

 I confess, this is a repeat from years past, but the beauty of late autumn after a rain is ongoing.


Willows and Rain


Tiny beads of water cling

to the underside of thin


willow strips October bare

except for occasional


remaining petals

of burnt autumn


hanging off wispy ends

like a display tree at Tiffany's


dappled with diamonds and gold leaf.
