Autumn 2007

Autumn colors are finally arriving in Indiana, Cash and I went for a walk today and found this tree down the street. Here is a poem for the season!!

Etudes by Elaine Equi

Autumn is a solitude.
Winter is
a fortitude.
Spring is an altitude.
Summer is an attitude.

Summer is a multitude.
Autumn is an aptitude.
Winter is a quaalude.
Spring is a prelude.

Spring is a lassitude.
Summer is a longitude.
Autumn is
a gratitude.
Winter is an interlude.

Winter is
a beatitude.
Spring is a platitude.
Summer is a verisimilitude.
Autumn is a semi-nude.

I already know what you're going to say, Bill! Don't even think about it.

Autumn is Serene, or Autumn is splendid, or Autumn is supreme.

Some of my ideas as I sit in my empty house (mom is in KC) in solitude.

We Gaines men stick together.
