Autumn
Is
Only
A
Change
In
The
Light,
A
Shorter
Day
And
A
Longer
Night,
But
In
The
Sudden
Morning
Chill
And
Dappled
Thrill
Of
Color
Change,
We
See
Nature’s
Effort
To
Rearrange
Summer’s
Bliss
Into
Winter’s
Frosty
Kiss.

 We
Have
A
New
Puppy
In
The
Manse,
Making
Our
Older
Lab
Do
A
Dance
When
Her
Tail
Is
Bitten
By
The
Little
Scamp,
The
Floor
Still
Damp
From
Her
Latest
Wee,
As
She
Bites
Every
Object
She
Can
See,
And
Sometimes,
That
Includes
Me.
I know
The
Mite
Will
Grow
Into
A
Proper
Pet,
But
It
Ain’t
Happened
Yet.
Here
She’s
Sleeping
Under
My
Chair,
Totally
Unaware.
Hopefully,
We
Shall
Find
If
She
Will
Mind,
And
Learn
From
Me
How
Not
To
Randomly
Pee.

Even
Though
My
Friend
Is
Agile,
Arrangements
Are
Extremely
Fragile.
The
Falling
Stone,
The
Angry
Cat,
The
Fire
Below,
The
Snow
White
Swan,
That
As
En
Pointe
She
Greets
The
Dawn,
A
Pretty
Thing,
Living
Balanced
On
A
String.

*Change* 3 7/8" H X 2 1/4" W Cast Bronze
As
Every
Writer
Knows,
Nothing
Is
Worse
Than
Bloated
Prose.
While
Penning
A
Scene
Of
Sexual
Thrall
Do
Not
Suddenly
Recall
The
Alamo,
Or
Relate
Details
Of
A
Broadway
Show.
Cut
It
Down,
Throw
It
Out,
I hear
The
Inner
Editor
Shout,
Negate
The
Horrid
Comma
Splice,
Obey,
Be
Nice,
And
You’ll
Succeed
As
You
Should,
Knock
On
Wood.

*Hatstand* Steel, Brass, and Aluminum * Adjustable Height * 5" Diameter Base
No
Question
That
I require
Some
Where
To
Hang
My
Hat.
Here
Is
Where
I reside,
But
I travel
Far
And
Wide
In
What
I write
And
Paint
And
Read,
And
I find
Every
Thing
I need
In
My
Snug
Space,
Without
Going
Any
Place.

*White Bird* 6" H Assemblage Of Bone And Steel On Birch Base
Poor
Humans,
With
Our
Schemes
And
Plans,
Laboring
With
Frail
Hands
To
Take
A
Stand,
Surviving
Countless
Blows
And
Cuts,
We
All
Go
Slightly
Nuts.
Foolish,
Eager
Hopes
Find
Us
On
The
Ropes,
But
On
We
Strive,
The
Only
Way
To
Keep
Alive,
As
In
The
Tumult
And
The
Rubble,
We
Still
Exult.

A

Trail
Divides
The
Morning
Sky,
Some
High
Flyer
Sweeping
By,
Gravity
A
Joke.
No!
No!
It’s
Smoke,
Grey
Smoke
Rising
Today
From
Fires
Half
A
World
Away,
The
Smoldering
Sin
Of
Evil
Men
And
Heedless,
Criminal
Greed
Without
End,
For
Filthy
Money
There
Will
Be
Nowhere
Left
To
Spend.

*Chiura Obata* The Road Ahead
Yellow
Lights
In
Empty
Rooms,
The
Roadway
Moist
In
The
Twilight
Gloom,
Triangle
Of
Park
Dim
Under
Starshine,
None
Of
Those
Rooms
Mine.
This
Town,
This
Space,
Soon
Gone,
I travel
On.

*Fear* 30" H X 36" W Oil On Linen
Where
Was
I when
The
Bomb
Dropped,
When
The
Blow
Fell,
When
The
Mist
Came,
When
The
Water
Rose,
When
The
Lights
Went
Out,
When
The
Last
Shout
Was
Raised,
When
Avarice
And
Violence
Were
Praised,
When
Every
Shadow
Became
Fear?
I was
Here,
You
Bureaucratic
Ass,
Right
Here,
With
Nothing
Left
To
Do,
And
Where
Were
You?

*Willem de Kooning*
Where
Is
The
Consolation
For
Lack
Of
Artistic
Stimulation?
When
Your
Muse
Is
Off
On
A
Cruise,
Your
Personal
Angel
Has
Fallen
From
Grace
And
You
Can’t
Recall
The
Face
Of
Success
Since
All
Your
Work
Is
A
Hot
Mess?
If
I knew,
I would
Tell
You
So.
When
You
Find
Out,
Please
Let
Me
Know.
