Promise

yellow tipped
leaves
presage daffodils

Edged With Antique Lace

green field sparkles with frost
as winter takes residence
in the shadow’s depth

Change

the air foretold
of fall’s approach
and meadow rue took note

Portent

putting the garden to bed
a startling glimpse of spring
the foreshadowing anemone

Augury

shade foreshadows winter
waiting in the wings of fall
