Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Just fallen petals
in the wet green grass
shimmering in the late afternoon
filtered sunlight after the rain
rich color, radiates in reds
and greens, contrasting
below the rose blooms
still reaching heavenward
so soon they will all fall, petal
by supple petal, to the ground
below, the fertile lawn
soon winter will follow fall
grip this urban garden
but we still have a warming sun
shining down, even on
fallen petals in the wet grass
