allusive poem 2

when she woke up this morning, the air was cooler.
she saw leaves the color of rust, and a thick layer of foliage on the ground.
she saw that she could slack off, and waste away her time,
but instead she got to her work.
she has a hard shield around her, it keeps her strong.
it repels distractions,
it protects her from harm.
you can push her off course,
but only for a while.
She is a force to be reckoned with when she is
pressed for time.
she is mindful of her insignificance,
But really, she knows we’re all part of one team, one mind.
She will never give up, and she will not look behind.


it is hard to watch him have so much fun.
but fall is almost over and there is lots to be done.
she holds a certain amount of pity for him,
as he frolics in the sun.
but with time, she, will be
given the chance.
for now, though, she is focused, and when time comes,
she will not be abashed.
for anything she needs, they are right in her hands.

And finally when the first snowflake falls,
She looks at him straight in the eyes
Offers him a kernel of corn,
and refuses to laugh.
“It is humbleness that makes us true.
It is what really pulls us through.”
