Autumn Offering
The yellow curled leaf
cups a handful of cold dew
and palms the warm sun.

Kirkus Starred Review, Firstborn: "A fantasy that reads like a lost history tome and deftly examines issues of gender...An engrossing story with welcome depths."

Lovely, Lorie Ann. But I'm afraid that this morning in the Seattle area that leaf is soaked and soggy. I like your picture better than the current one out the window.
Lovely!
Have I told you lately that I love your poetry? :)
Oh I love that! Perfect balance of warm and cold, holding and releasing. Good job!
Thank you, everyone! It's so nice to be writing poetry outside of verse novels again.
