Autumn

Autumn
                a chilling wave
          crunching melancholy
   nostalgic for summer warm heart
shrinking passions of deciduous souls
       perennial strain for blending
                 raking over losses
                     as we behold
                          Autumn
                          Autumn
                 rebirth and growth
             a carving golden Nature
 mother earth to ripe souls gives birth
       harmonious fall of mellow aura
         a promise of blooming roses
                the poets fascination
                       enrapturing
                          Autumn

Susan Ashley Date: 10/14/2018 10:06:00 AM Your poem so beautifully beholds the charms and changes of Autumn and is wondrously metaphoric of life, my sweet friend. I love your imagery which so aptly captures the fall season and emotions; 'crunching melancholy' - reminds me of walking through fallen leaves or coming to terms with regrets as we grow older and 'raking over losses' of what has bloomed and now is in decline - so significant of the life cycle be it a tree in Autumn or someone in the Autumn of life. Your poem also speaks of rebirth, be it the seeds sown in Autumn for Spring or seeds sown in life for Eternal life.. Your amazing poem touches your ardent reader's mind, heart and soul on many soulful, hopeful and divine levels, my inspiring and talented friend. Superb and a FAV! Warmest wishes, love and hugs, dearest Besma.. ~Susan Login to Reply Besma Riabi Dziri Date: 10/16/2018 12:28:00 PM With your receptive poetic heart and knowledgeable soul you outshine my humble words and imageries!

Paul Callus Date: 10/13/2018 4:31:00 PM I love this poem, Besma! I especially like the phrase "raking over losses"...not just the fallen leaves, but also the many gifts of summer which now slip into the shadows. Fortunately autumn is not all gloom and doom...far from it!! ~ Warm regards // paul Login to Reply Besma Riabi Dziri Date: 10/14/2018 4:55:00 AM Nature and our nature, two worlds that do overlap! we leave our stamps on Nature and our nature is impressed..
