Death of Fall

By Pat G

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Arrowed v's in fine thin linesinked on a leaden skypreface thoughts of autumn's endand draw my tearing eyeto tumbleweeds, grief spiralingacross the harvest plain,fleeing from the death of fall and cold November rain.Turning, twisting tinsel leavesgive up their will to flygathering in abject heapswhere other debris lie.Wailing winds of summers lostnow voice their unleashed painscattering all mourners offfrom where sweet autumn's lain.A lesser moon, a paler sun now stand the eulogy..faint praise for bounty of the onethat fades to memory……A chick-a-dee sings endlesslyhis joy like silver spentcascading crystal melodiesof life resilient.
