Autumnal Prelude<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

by Lynda McKinney Lambert<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\n\n\n
\n

My sleek black cat stretches forward<\/p>\n

views rain-soaked world through open window<\/p>\n

sits quietly as early morning rain dribbles<\/p>\n

soft metallic tunes on rainspouts<\/p>\n

listens to chipmunks chattering<\/p>\n

in rock pile of spare Japanese garden.<\/p>\n

I listen to cars splashing down flooded road<\/p>\n

crows calling from beyond the dense woods<\/p>\n

deep olive-green dimness of tangled<\/p>\n

swagging bittersweet vines<\/p>\n

careening from highest maple trees<\/p>\n

Rain alters my gardening schedules<\/p>\n

tulip, crocus, and daffodil bulbs<\/p>\n

remain unnoticed, dry and safe<\/p>\n

after swift flight from Holland<\/p>\n

the promise of a colorful spring garden<\/p>\n

remains intact<\/p>\n

resting in cardboard shipping box.<\/p>\n

Autumnal days grow cooler<\/p>\n

but soil remains warm<\/p>\n

plants now focus their energy<\/p>\n

on root development<\/p>\n

preparing for their Spring performance.<\/p>\n

Patience is a virtue for cats, gardeners and plants.<\/p>\n
