Autumn's Breath

The autumn rain falls, drip, drip, drip on down
As crisp as the breath of fall I don’t drown
I love the feel of the autumn evening
Being so filled with rain a great feeling

Rain cooled by the sky and the air fallen
As the clouds reaches nearer to the glen
They explode with the grey life of evening
My feelings in this time go exploring

The ground is slightly wet and the air damp
There is little light within the sky’s lamp
I sense the coolness of the evening air
Showing I truly love it and I care

The near night feel radiates peace and calm
Dampness with a chill is within my palm

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/13/2013 2:53:00 PM a nice and lovely uncoventional sonnet, Russell. I notice more and more poets doing their own rhyme scheme with sonnets. I like it with rhyming couplets this was as well. Login to Reply
