The Spirits of Autumn


The leaves are woven 
    into a colorful tapestry 
        by the spirits of autumn.
            Sundown brings cold air, frost, 
                and memories of campfires 
                    from when I was young.
                        Geese call from dark skies
                            and tell me of their loneliness.
                                I tell them I have friends, 
                                    near by... and far away.
                                        But the geese ignore me 
                                            and keep on calling
                                                And their cries follow them 
                                                    into the night.

    and their cries follow me into the night..would bring the reader back into the drama..instead of leaving him/her as the observer. Love it. Debbie

    Very nostalgic James and the placement reminds me of a flock of geese taking off following the leader. Thank you for your comments on my poem. Joyce

    This reminds me of a feather or the wings of the geese. Love the images you create xhere for this read and the form is lovely. Michael
