Fallen Leaves and Autumnal Rubble
Autumn Leads
Autumn lends
its style to the air
vintage sheaves
tattered hems
boho-chic
Excerpt From the Wisp ...*
Bara walked past rows of dusty volumes stacked on worm-eaten wooden shelves. She didn’t feel like studying just yet. Amy always took ages in Tech and wouldn’t arrive for a while, and so why not do a little reading? Bara picked a random row. Her hand grazed firm backs and metallic embossing. She didn’t have a book in mind. The right one would call out. A tingle, maybe a shock of static, bit at her fingertips. She stopped to see which book her hand had settled upon. Taunting her from the shelf was a worn and frayed edition of the Magician’s Nephew.
*The Wisp in its entirety is available on Amazon and Kindle. See link below.
Clear the Rubble
meaning lies
under the noise
clear the rubble
don't flinch
slow down
in a grain of sand
a universe is born
a pixel of static
draws to itself
expands
swirls
stars ignite
galaxies shape
your way
the one
grows
complex
still, it is yes or no
light or dark
code to fractals
simplicity
to symbolism
meaning lies
under the noise
clear the rubble
don't flinch
slow down
there is a way
but first you must
slow down, still
to see
meaning lies
under the noise
clear the rubble
don't flinch
slow down

Words and Poetry are my own. Images unless otherwise attributed are a collaboration between me and AI, Grok. They should be viewed visual haiku, in that they contain symbolism. The concepts are my own creation and the rendering AI. Keep drawing and painting. AI cannot replace your hard work and excellence. Autumn Leads and and Clear the Rubble were both most recently and first published on X social media platform. All titles below, including the Wisp, represent lengthier works and are available in paperback or digital through amazon and your local libraries and bookstores.
