from one day to the next, or a few questions



do you suppose
that the falling leaves
fight the inevitable
as much as we do?

and should I feel
ashamed of how much
I appreciate their beauty
as they flutter to their end?

I wonder if anyone
will appreciate
"her delicate grace"
when I meet my demise?

    YES! Oh my gosh, I never meant to give anyone the wrong idea, I was just playing with words!

    I"M SO SORRY! No more poetry for me!

    I love the photos and the poem! (And have I mentioned how envious I was of the Scottish trip?!)

    I actually thought it was GOOD poetry, and I was going to ask you where you got it.
    From yer brain, that's where!

    thank you for causing amazement on a regular basis.

    love you.
