Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Autumn Fire

The Forsythia is aflame
Delight runs once again
The red oak draws strength to ignite
Love bellows a refrain

A red-orange dress over brown
Leggins' so tight a shame
Dancin' the flamingo about
Town, autumn fire untame

Falling, falling into a flamin'
Fire, love, love's wild desire
And it burns, burns autumn's
fire, deeper lovers mire

Until at last love goes sour
Another comes, separates
From the ashes a spark ignites
Dancin' again on date

Sara Kendrick October 30, 2016 at 6:13 AM Jesse, I orginally wrote this for the Autumn Fire contest but it had closed before I could enter it..Then I entered it in another contest but it has one stanza too many so it probably won't place..LOL..I tried ..Sara

Andrea Dietrich October 27, 2016 at 6:06 PM Oh man, the contest closed on you?? After all that work? sorry, SAra. It was a very nice idea you had! Sara Kendrick October 28, 2016 at 6:21 AM Andrea, This one wasn't that hard to write once I got started..I enjoyed it but I should have finished it when I started but I got a block after the first line for some reason then I rested and it just flowed..Thanks for stopping..Sara
