New England Autumn Suite   September The first gash of red in a forest deeply green — again we’re surprised.   October Tripping through the woods, wading through candy wrappers — psychedelic, man.   November Summer’s memory — bare branches haunted and grey. No more pretending.   December Feeble squibs of light, beech leaves rattle in the wind. Will it never snow?     © Michael Fleming Brattleboro, Vermont November 2015
