Poet’s Showcase: ‘Prelude’

By Beverly Boyd - Lawrence

Ostensibly

with passion,

a red leaf glows

out of season.

Regardless how tall,

how green the tree,

a leaf is red

out of season.

Nature, kismet, the divine,

whatever its accident

or force,

gold is en route nearby

and afterwards brown

— Beverly Boyd lives in Lawrence.
