Colors

 Tangerine Dreams

Brown season is past.

No smoke on the horizon.

Time to mend the roof.

Summer’s colors fade,

Fall bloomings now in season.

Time for new seedlings.

Red flowers opened,

pomegranates in waiting.

Time to make sun tea.

Orange Navels eaten,

Valencias unfavored.

Time for new apples.

White snow on some hills.

Summer will thirst for its melt.

Time to clean windows.

Pink Christmas cactus,

bougainvillea scream crimson.

Time for new thinking.

Epi’s bloom briefly,

same as with cactus flowers.

Time to call my friends.
