Crunchy leaves fall to the ground
Fuzzy socks on my feet
Sweet smells drifting through the air
Orange pumpkins sitting on porches
Pumpkin spice all around
Grey clouds fill the sky
Warm feelings coursing through my body
Shivers rake my body as the cold wind blows
Memories engraved into my heart and mind as the   Â
Gingerbread cookies bake inside the happy homes on
the block
Dakota sits on a black and red and white Honda 70cc dirt bike, looking out over the city. He is looking down the hill. It’s the end of summer, around noon. white clouds float across the  blue sky as Dakota rides  by  oak trees and over  small rocks, It’s high up. He sees his dad and mom and brothers, and he revs. The kid pulls up beside Dakota and asks, “Do you know more trails?”
“Yeah.”  They take off super fast down the hill. They ride. Dakota shows him some new trails and jumps at Diamond Mill, a dirt bike and atv’s place.
FALL
cold wind
blowing against
my skin
rain
drops
on my hair
green
blue
brown
yellow
Gray weather
a black cat
football
halloween kids
run out into the streets
in costumes
ringing people’s doorbells and getting candy
During the fall i mostly
smell cinnamon
rich sweet desserts
When i think of fall
i think of rain and staying inside
Fall
The black cat arched her back                 Â
At the rottweiler that just approached her
From the alley behind the  house
The cat turned her head
it saw the dog
The cat lunged at him
claws out
Her kittens hid in the alley
meowing for their mother and they
Smelled hot dogs cooking in front of them. One of them
Was black like its mother the second one has a calico like
Pattern and the third is brown with black stripes.
The mother cat took a swipe at the dog.
summer
Alex in a haze,
Running her fingers over the crunchy grass
How could it go from lush fluffy green to,
dry straw?
Sticky
sweaty
Stinky
Rays of light coming from every direction
Alex gets up from the scratchy grass
Yellow and brown spots all around
She dreams of air conditioned homes,
Ice cold water,
And Popsicles
summer
She’s at the beach
near the water’s edge.
Above her the sky
was a cloudless dark blue.
In front of her sat the ocean,
the golden sun just barely on the horizon.
The smell of the salty water surrounded her senses,
calming her mind as it mixed with the smell of sand.
she gently placed her hand on the warm sand,
slowly burying her fingers into it.
she relished in the calming sounds
as she watched the rolling waves.
The further she dug her hand,
the colder the sand became.
summer
 (2020)
At the edge
of a big lake
in the shade
on a sunny summer
Afternoon
fishing with his cousin
Dakota is eighteen
And the dock is warm
white clouds
and blue sky
the cold wind
blowing on his skin
