 along the Erie Canal
Today on a bike ride along the Erie Canal

Upon leafless trees
November's sun shining through
making long shadows.

November sunshine
having no warmth in shadows,
windchill feels colder.

A blustery wind
making November colder
-shadows grow longer.

Contrasting shadows
are chilled splashes of darkness
along the towpath.

Along the towpath
a Doe bursts through the thicket
pacing with my bike.

Bounding alongside,
the Doe -startled as I was,
plunged back down the bank.

Then, hopping a ditch
Crossing the roadway with haste
The Deer was long gone.
