Bringing Autumn (Trijan Refrain)

Come dance with me, my winged escape
and skip the skies in flight
we’ll let the wind lick at our nape
and subtle touch invite.
Our cares we’ll toss to milky moon
and resonate our silky tune-
       our cares we’ll toss
         our cares we’ll toss
in freedom’s name our love commune.

Come float with me, my winged escape
on billowed waves of blue
we’ll lift the night mist’s heavy drape 
and sail on moonbeams through.
This golden eve will whisper dreams
on silver sheets where all it seems-
       this golden eve
         this golden eve
cascades our love down rushing streams.

Come bloom with me my winged escape
in midnight’s breathless hour
my petals spread ‘neath stardust cape
to nature’s heady power.
We’ll give ourselves to Spring’s last rites
awaken sleeping appetites
     we’ll give ourselves
       we’ll give ourselves
and Autumn’s zenith expedite.




~Trijian Refrain~ (a fabulous form by Jan Turner)

You've got talent and it shows through all the forms choose to write with. There is a distinctive voice in your poems, no matter the form. Your poems seem polished, bro. Another great one.

I do like this interesting Trijian Refrain form, Kris. And you have me thinking about dancing happily into the autumn breezes. Do hate to give spring its last rites, though. It's such a beautiful season here. Excellent poem in style, form and content. Love, Carolyn

Oh wow! I love, love, love this so much. You're right, what a fabulous form. The changing syllable count works so well, the flow is just beautiful. This is almost like a lullaby, saying goodnight to the summer, but so romantic too. Really stunning poetry Kris ~ Sharon :)
