Lily Pond

The last lily soaks in the autumn sun
She looks too perfect and round
Would you believe she came from a mold?

Tops

Apartments reach to mountain tops
Hard to tell where the skyline ends
And the mountain top begins

The sign says

Save some acorns for the squirrels
I guess they are not well fed
Chipmunks too
There are a few

Satisfied

The sign says not to pick the acorns but this is so tempting as the Korean grandmas
can make a really tasty acorn gelatin. It's one of my son's favorite foods
and a grandmother has to do
what she can do
to keep her
grand kids
satisfied.

She
said
she was
just picking a few
acorns for safekeeping
in her bag so the squirrles
and chimpmunks won't worry
about where to find some food tomorrow

These off trails are my favorite as they highlight the colors of autumn.

A little mountain garden is the best place to play a game of badminton,
as long as it isn't so windy.

These berries shine out color in an autumn green the violets cry
we are here the last color before the winter's dread.

The oriental radish is a nickname for those who have thick legs.
This radish will be cut to pieces and made kimchee.
Add some salt, hot pepper , ginger and wait...
You will see this one on my plate.

Oh, and dried persimmons, who can forget?
The snack of champions,
but don't eat too many
Or you will be constipate.
