Andrea Dietrich Poet Kyrielle

At Summer's End

When Autumn veils my season's smile
and lingers in the air a while . . .
though Indian days be gold spun,
my summering will come undone.

Night's shadows fall more quickly now;
birds sooner too forsake their bough.
No tarrying for old friend Sun
when summering becomes undone.

Oh, warmth of Summer, leave me not.
Through Winter's frost I grow distraught.
The melancholy has begun;
my summering will come undone.

As Autumn veils my season's smile,
my summering will come undone.

Line Gauthier April 13, 2018 at 9:37 PM A beautiful farewell to summer, Andrea.

Arlene Binner January 26, 2017 at 6:26 PM A beautiful poem! I admire your talent in expressing what you obviously feel so deeply.

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 12, 2016 at 12:38 PM I agree w/the chorus of praise from the other poetesses/poets, Andrea. Elegant and beautiful. Well done. You didn't get my "Wisdom of a Child" poem. The child can't say the "s" sound yet. The child instead says the "h" sound. Sugar becomes hugar and salt becomes halt. Re-read it and it makes perfect sense. Ty for the interest though. I love seeing children learn developmentally. Fascinating. Anywho, will read more of your work. You're real talented. Much love, dear.
