Octember Leaves are leaving and the wind is moaning as spirits swirl about. Haunting haunts town and countryside. Ghosts on the mind; ghosts in the yard; ghosts skulk the street. Hallowe’en steals color from the trees and their twigs to make a creepy way, to forge a sighing day to force a listening over your shoulder …for a growl or a scream.

Hidden We’re too near a city and our own town powders night with light hiding the stars we seek; or should wish to. Dim is a cruel word, and gone, even crueler. Light is kind to farmer, to reader but pin-pierced sparks that stay (I’m told) and glow to gold; ought always be seen, to comfort and send an essence of sun in small beams that neither burn nor blind, but (so I’m told), only glow to gold.

When Autumn Comes to Clouds When autumn comes to clouds it brings a Fahrenheit fall. And a lake grows grey even in day. When autumn comes to clouds birds plot their feathery flight high and south down and away.             Happiness upon your Octember, Ira Ira Joe Fisher Email: irajoefisher@gmail.com Phone: 203-912-1457 Learn More When Autumn Comes to Clouds - Poetry by Ira Joe Fisher

Holy Joy My books breathe and glow about my rooms. They have lifted me in a little valley to a whiling away in Asia and around the south and west and north and on to now in treed New England.   My books bear the wild wonder of word – a daily gift I take in chalice-like: reverent, awed, inked, moving, and holy; passages underlined and margin-lined mystery-wisdom thrilling my thoughts.   If I may – a wish rises from my me that a daughter or a son might look upon these sacred pa

For homeowners concerned about drinking water quality, PFAS contamination is an issue that can’t be ignored. PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of synthetic chemicals commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” Once they enter the environment, PFAS break down extremely slowly, accumulating in soil, water supplies and even the human body over time.

The Invitation   Window down.  My car glides along the street-lamp street. The night air caresses and blesses my arm reaching into the almost dark. Night blackens the leaves and the auto wind is the only music playing, the only music asking me into its soft sibilant spell. Day ends and night invites.  Ira Joe Fisher Email: irajoefisher@gmail.com Phone: 203-912-1457 Learn More The Invitation - Poetry by Ira Joe Fisher
