Orange heads
Large and small
Shelved and perched
In the mall
For each person
To haul
Home a flavor
Of fall.

And the clouds
Bowed
To ocean
Weaving rain
Waves to sky
Kissing veils
Onto mountains
Drenching wet
Speeding by.

Lili Lines

In the silvery waters
It reflects
Lovely lines,
Of blue sky
And deep shadows
That so neatly
Align.

She Drives

Down the mountain
She drives
As fields await wheat
To arrive.
Down the mountain
She strives
Arrow straight
To a new life.

Evening Friends

Come on friend
We will walk
On this sand
To the end
Of the earth
And return
Just before
A new night
Falls again.

Deep in summer
When it bloomed
It held the promise
Of Autumn.

Early Hold
Photo: Zaid Abu Taha on Pexels.com
She is early in birth
And early in breath,
Independent in all.
She’s come forth barely cooked
But is here even so
Stubbornly grabbing hold
Ravenous in her howls,
In a world just a tad
Unprepared
For her life-hungry spirit
And determined
Big soul.
[Dedicated to all the little ones who arrive exactly at the right time … for them. … and to all who work with them, to make it the best possible time and outcome.]

Turning In
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
As the cool nights
Begin,
Snow draws near
And she pulls in.
The verdant hues of
Summer’s green,
Slowly replaced with
Sleep’s bronze
Sheen.

How Will I Know?
Photo by Kat Jayne on Pexels.com
How will I know
The taste of freedom
If I am locked
Inside a cage?
How will I find
A true horizon
When I am of
Tender age?
Where will my parents be
Tomorrow?
Will army men
Lock them away?
How will I know
If I will get to see them
Once again
One day?

Not Itsy
Photo: Adi Rozen-Zvi
This is no macro shot
Of a small spider
Up close,
But a photo of one
That is bigger than most.
Sized to barely fit
In the palm of a man,
It clung to a web
That could use
A steadier hand.
For the Lens-Artists Challenge: Big
Trivia: Giant Golden Orb Weavers (Nephilia Pilipes) are named for the way their intricate webs shimmer in the light. Females can grow to 20 centimeters (8 inches!!) in size and have a long slim, black body with golden spots on their back, and long skinny legs (the males are about 10 times smaller, sorry guys). Female Giant Golden Orb Weavers can build gigantic webs that can span 2 meters (6-7 feet!!) across, often between large trees, where they can be seen resting on their webs and protecting their territory (yep, that’s exactly what the photo we took above depicts). They bite their prey to immobilize it, and though their bite is not dangerous to humans, if you do get bitten by one of these mega-spiders, I cannot guarantee that you will not have LOTR-style nightmares of massive arachnids coming to get you.
