Bewitching poetry for the autumn season.

GHOSTS

a simple light upon gray shadows

and the resolution fades beyond the rising hills

we realize

they are within our waking souls

and while they roam among the sallow wood smoke trees

and filter in through doors

they take delight in tapping wooden floors

at night where shaken covers fall to floor

and dry cool air becomes pooled beneath the rim

of sun born days.

REVIEW:

The poems in this chapbook wonderfully capture the dark, haunting spirit of Autumn. My favorite poems were Whisper in the Woods, Yellow, Among the Trees, Sleeping Trees, and The House Upon a Hill. I also enjoyed the flash fiction piece, The Tenant.
