September's Song

how I love the fall its tempered coolness and gusts of wind transport leaves and emotion across miles and miles of earth the dry secular heat of summer that turned my heart to kindling and filled the streets with barren ideals has come to an end along with this seasonal change my sorrow like the fallen leaves slowly begins to decompose

Tidy bit of imagery you conjured here Ricky. Particularly enjoyed your powerful audio reading with the author's intonation. Congratulations on your placement.

I love the way you write and am glad your sorrow is no more; having decomposed like fallen leaves. You paint interesting pictures with your words...

Fallen leaves decompose and provide for new growth in the Spring. Your poem weaves you sorrow among the leaves in a most picturesque manner. Makes it more understandable; the way you experience the trauma.

Thank you my friend. This poem was inspired by my childhood in South Central Los Angeles, CA. The 60's seem so long ago. Thanks again.................peace!
