October Season
Most trees still have their leaves,
Except for those on the boulevard,
Sickly from the fumes,
The sort the local electric company
Likes to “trim.”
Green leaves too,
With just fringes here and there,
Turning.
On quiet side streets,
Birds were singing
As if still in spring.
Confused about the season?
The squirrels running into the road,
Mouths stuffed with acorns.
They know.

A commonplace book: an old-fashioned literary diary for recording interesting items from reading you've done. I use mine to record snippets from reading, conversation and life in general. (The early 2003 entries are from a period some years ago -- before the blog age -- when I tried an online commonplace book as a straight web page.)
