Notes About The Poem

Autumn Arrived

Autumn came through darkness like thieves in the night
Recalculated angle of sky's fireball
Flung out a master canvas so, so bright
Readjusted the thermostat to fall
Touched the pumpkins just for Halloween fright

He blew deadly white frost upon the pears
Left them chilled ready to noisily splat
As they land on rain drenched earth whose affairs
Weigh it down, like so many bureaucrats
Piled on a long winter's night putting on airs  

Just for fun!!!

Valsa George August 12, 2023 at 10:46 PM Beautiful poem. Though you say it is written for fun, it sounds a serious poem with great descriptions of the sudden changes autumn has brought in the weather! Sara Kendrick August 13, 2023 at 4:39 AM Thank you, Valsa. I appreciate the kind review of my work. Sara

Joseph Spence Sr December 10, 2020 at 10:37 AM This is an excellent poem, my dear sister of God's inspirational grace, Sara. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message about "Autumn." The descriptive excellence is lovely. The theme of "Autumn's Radiance" stands out, and the tone and tenor move the piece down the page with much grace. Great job! Have a fantastic day, and stay enlightened with God's richest grace and blessings always. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53812816-sincerely-speaking-spiritually.

Victor Buhagiar November 29, 2020 at 11:27 PM I love Autumn. But I know it can be hard with its cold and rain (no snow in Mata). Lovey imagery. ~~ Sara Kendrick November 30, 2020 at 3:26 AM Victor, I would think that your weather is somewhat tropical? We only get snow here about every ten years or so but sometimes it will come several years in a row. I have a feeling this is going to be a cold winter. Thanks for dropping by. Sara
