Autumn Worries
Autumn Worries When the last leaf falls and streets go gray When days cut their hours and dark shades each end When temperatures drop low when furnaces blow strong What will the widow do? With caution she walks to the curb for her mail But when ice coats her way when her food supply drops when snow piles high to block her escape When strong winds blow and she lives all alone What will the widow do? ********** by Lori Lipsky
On Maple Street
On Maple Street by Lori Lipsky
Early autumn winds robbed the trees of color
Hearty rains washed the leaves from eyesight
The unwelcomed gray left behind by the storm
Supplied a snug backdrop for essential winter rest.
