Poet’s Corner – New Year
Like many beads of moisture
Scattered as lace across the grass
Yellows mixed with greens and umbers
Blanket the yard reaching wide and full.
Not expecting the length of day
To invite words to form
As shapes and collected colors,
I use the wind- swept leaves
As a blessed ending to the year.
Poem, “New Year” and artwork, “Swept Leaves,” by Marsha Solomon
