Autumn

Autumn leaves, sad songs
colored trees in throngs
hah, a rueful laugh
always – this heart longs

Thanks, Sam. Yep, it's weird, but undeniable that the seasons have specific emotions attached to them.

David, a great poem, autumn is a beautiful season and a favorite for many, it's also a time for closure, rest and endings. Wonderful emotions in your poem. Congratulations on your winning placement.

Thanks, Tania! It's strange how each season has its own feel. I like them all for their various differences, but my favorites are based on the weather where I'm living. Down here by the beach, my favorite season, for sure, is summer - nice and warm!
