Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

For  the 'Bite Size no91' of Line Gauthier\

________________________________________________________________

Aster of September

Aster of September, summer wanes.
The shining sky of dusk is drenched in splendor.
Tremulously, I watch shadows that arrive.
      Too soon, they purloin sun’s last rays.
Aster of September, Virgo aches.
You bloom till your breath is snatched away.

John Read September 28, 2024 at 1:24 AM Once the Aster star flower wanes we know winter's on its way. Nice one Andrea.

Paige Hind September 27, 2024 at 3:07 PM This is so sad, but it's beautifully so. Sort of haunted by it...

Michael Tor September 26, 2024 at 8:23 AM The change of season is wonderful to watch and feel. Sometimes we want to hold on to summer just a little longer. Hope you are well, and thank you for sharing...

Robert Warlov September 25, 2024 at 6:32 PM Now confront the mailman with a late arrival and watch him burst into flame! [If I may suggest: '. . . til your breath is borne away'.]

Joseph P. DiMino September 25, 2024 at 2:39 PM Beautiful poetry: "You bloom till your breath is snatched away." Deeply emotive. I keep trying.

Sara Kendrick September 25, 2024 at 12:52 PM Sad that Aster's breath gets snatched away. I enjoyed reading this one. I don't think that I have ever tried to grow asters. Sara K
