FALL COLORS

 

FALL COLORS

It's late October

Fall is here

The leaves are changing color

I am sure there is a very scientific reason for this

Perhaps even a poetic one

TAG?


 TAG?

Walking along Queens Boulevard

I noticed a tag lying on the sidewalk

With three words:

"UN-NEST BEFORE SELLING"

I picked up the tag and turned it over

To see if I could get more information

The other side read the same thing

So I was left with a three word mystery

Reminds me of Ernest Hemingway's

Six word story:

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

GREAT HORNED OWL


 GREAT HORNED OWL

At the Queens Zoo 

The sign reads Great horned owls

Are very proficient hunters

They can turn their heads 270 degrees

Which helps them find their food

They are true wiseguys!

WATER LANTERNS

 

WATER LANTERNS

Water lanterns

Drift along the Fountain of the Planets

Each with their own message to the stars

SAILING


 SAILING

Think sailing

America's Cup

Newport 

But anything is possible in Queens

Even sailing

AUTUMN DAY


 AUTUMN DAY

Sun reflecting on Meadow Lake

Drops of sparkling light

Falling from the clear blue sky

COLOR BLIND

 

COLOR BLIND

Walking by the flower

I was drawn to its color

Which color 

I can't tell you

As I am color blind

More like shade blind

But I still can't tell you what

Color it is

But I can sense its beauty

Its composed power

Not too in your face

(At least not mine)

But just enough to capture

Your attention
