| Thanks a lot Doreen!  This is another one in a series of poems about autumn that I've been recently working on!(sewing away at them!) I haven't picked up this theme in quite awhile so I guess I had some fresh ideas! Best, Carol |

Autumn Wildflowers
The small patches of earth
by the sides of the roads
create a patchwork piece
of a wildflower meadow
The golden yellow daisies
are stitched together
with purple asters
that hold their threads up
waiting for the needles of the air
to sew together
another row of stitches
Here and there small pieces
of these wildflower colors
burst through
the blanket of dry brown earth
and illuminate the roadsides
like twisted pieces of
ribbon embroidery
These yellow and purple sequins
sparkle before my eyes
as their facets turn and shine
in the autumn sunlight
and dapple through the
shadows of the breeze
As I walk along this pathway,
I am following these patches
of autumn wildflowers
as they sew me along
with their purple stitches
into a yellow patchwork meadow
overflowing with quilts of dreams…
