I wrote this poem on 26 October 2020. It is a reflection about Autumn and nature in Derbyshire or across the globe.
Dark skies lurked to press upon 'em
To Autumn they succumbed
Trying to change was superfluous
By twilight, the hills were overcome
Fingertips of trees reached upward
Hoping to prick the clouds
Windy spirits then flew upward
It was heartfelt and profound
A kindhearted spirit disappeared
Beckoning the leaves to glow
They could not refuse adherence
When down came the shadow
Rain embraced green hills abruptly
Drizzling its dainty fingers
Across grasslands prematurely
Where puddles would linger
Dancing like the deities
Of pagans long ago
Nature shared its transiency
And shone itself aglow
Autumn carried its winds above
Not knowing what to think
About nature's labour of love
To which humans are linked
The night solemnly awaited
Dusk's passage to morning
The course of time was fated
For Derbyshire's adornment
Animated eastern midlands
And the good people there
Enchantment set them free
Whilst Autumn filled the air
With colourful leaves everywhere
The Autumn brings them joy
Loving hearts are found in the square
Bright new daylight galore!
