Autumn landscape

Posted byPhillip Knight ScottPosted inPoemsTags:, , , , ,

The hills burn
with Autumn’s leaves,
a chorus celebrating
the mundane mayhem
that announces

another season when trees
shed any pretense
of modesty. The future is cloudy
while the skies
echo the sun’s brushstrokes

and compete
for my attention. I don’t
complain about the cold —
seasons are cyclical so
we just pedal faster.
