i hear fall call from stone wall
to all apple trees and honey bees,
as you please, give your best for fall fest,
then rest…we will sing, come spring!

full snow moon
stirs the ladybug
on cold bare branches

she rolls over in her sleep
shiny black spots reflect light

_____
dreaming of blossoms
snow covers dormant branches
honey bees warm hive

winter moon soon waning
pregnant apple tree will bud
