Fall Features from the Porch
by Judi Armbruster

1

far flung fall
leaves layer lawns
cold nips noses.

2

scarlet, bronze, red trees
screaming yellow cottonwood
heavy rain blooms mushrooms.

3

musty damp deep
little white heads begin to peep
an "other" land of life below.

4

fragrant fungi
colored, coral, button
choice edible, or deadly poison.

5

acorns to gather
to dry, grind and leach
acquired taste, historical palate.
