A few make noise

 Can’t rake, have to blow with small

noisy machines. You can hear up the block,

and around the corner; take hours to do the job.

After so long i can’t walk out there any longer.

What do these people have in their heads?

We’ll have a warm afternoon; maybe the last one.

Winter has got to be arriving soon.

This nice weather can’t keep hanging on.

Blue sky and direct sunshine pour on us.

Come on in good day, spread all over.

a handful remain hanging

 we wait all year.  not exactly, but knowing it’ll happen.

a handful remain hanging to the trees.

twenty percent.  overall the color has faded.

leaves have let go by a large measure.

air is breezeless, cool a bit, not much.

overall the autumn continues calm. not so strong,

this day starts November.

Heavy leaf cover

It only happens once a year;

after it’s dry, after full color.

 like a winter blanket the leaves cover the ground 

after dripping down,

smothering sounds tranquilly.

so I walked the front and sides.

there are a lot of leaves. wet and large.

 no trace of anybody around; meaning birds, chipmunks, squirrels or rabbits.

 a quiet, nice day again.

find comfort.

Prisoners

 Some had marijuana growing in the closet,

Not to get rich, to get high some.  

Big deal.

Better than booze.

Now laws change; what about that?  Just wait again?

Takes a lot of time.  Come on. Be reasonable.

I want to free all those who errored a little.

Give us a break.  And hungry people, please help them.

can we sit by the running water, lake or river,

hear the quiet, don’t get excited.

a few birds pass overhead. warm day.

 take it easy.
