“California”

Oh, California,

your winds and heat upset me,

never feels like fall.

–

“night”

drops of rainfall through

the cracked window this dark night,

peace is present here.

–

“Pumpkin”

Pierce his heart and eyes

Cut his head, take his stomach,

Carve a smile too.

–

“Baby”

Smear her eyes with paint

Nature will rot her quite soon,

A baby pumpkin.

–

“Leaf”

Orange stars falling,

Branches falling on my head,

I’m falling for fall!

–

“Blueberry skies”

Fluffy clouds turn gray

Covered the blueberry skies,

Fall prepares Winter.

– 

“7”

Blankets, hot tea

Bundle up with a good book,

The trees are orange.
