PEGGY FLETCHER

Earth’s Palette


Old leaves in shades
of gray, green and brown
draw abstract patterns
in wet-on-wet techniques
to dazzle an autumn canvas.


Across cloud packed horizon
sky blue sketches its way
into a sunless background

October landscape
pulled together by artist winds
and Nature’s creative drawing skills.


How we marvel at its freehand beauty.
