Notes About The Poem

Written on September 3, 2024

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Autumn Anguish


September crashes through the seas,
	Summer’s depths, carrying my dreams
Taking my regrets, with the breeze,
	Breathing light across the tide’s streams.

October paints it’s fierce display,
	Rusty leaves in stunning outbursts,
Trembling hues seem to gently pray.
	Dancing with autumn’s tranquil firsts.

November calms with its grey brush,
	Washing dawn with overcast blues,
Tempting us to see autumn’s flush,
	Caressing the waves who enthuse.

This is the struggle with autumn,
	Where souls sometimes hit rock bottom.

"October paints it’s fierce display, Rusty leaves in stunning outbursts," Gina, you have given color and vigor to Autumn ! Indeed a lovely sonnet on autumn's mixed shades of pain and joy! A great entry for the contest. All the best, dear one.

Lovely autumnal poetry Gina, shorter days and longer cosy nights add to the magic of autumn delights. Blessings, Beryl
