The Autumn Leaves

The Autumn leaves me here to ~ fall ~ 
my crutches that begin firstly
where the tremors ripe from fire drawl 
the Autumn leaves

the season's on girl's skin timely — 
~ leaves~: her heart a maybe for all
burning coldly, coldly burning — 

trees without leaves are not as tall,
I never wanted my deluge.
within the gold and the red scrawl,
the Autumn leaves

Paige, this poem carries an ominous, melodious cadence that lingers in the air. The echo of “the Autumn leaves” develops gracefully, serving equally as a vivid picture and an ambient refrain of parting.

Autumn leaves - fire drawl, gold & red scrawl …trees without leaves are not as tall - intriguing line. Hugs ~ Kim

Paige, this poem has such a haunting, lyrical rhythm. The repetition of “the Autumn leaves” works beautifully as both an image and a quiet refrain of departure. I love the contrast in “burning coldly, coldly burning”—it captures the bittersweet pull of the season perfectly.
