Autumn Leaves

volume 5 number 6

Untitled

by Richard Vallance

I

This snow, strewn slightly
cross the yard, announces falls'
esteem for winter.

II

How longingly I
look upon the snows that ply
my window's silence.

III

Droplets of rain drip
and anneal to frost crystals
on my eaves outside.

IV

October's like some
unspoken blessing of grief,
but leaves scant relief.
