My green autumn, you goaded me to write.
I love the way you sparkle, shake, and hurl.
Conquering my mind day and by the night,
Always musing about the shorn kiss curl.

Let me approach you with a square crowbar.
You are more snowy, magnetic, and bright.
Light storms whisk the twiglets of October.
And autumntime has a quiescent sight.

How do I love you?  Let me deem the ways.
I love your brickle birds, kindling, and leaves.
Thinking of your fine brushwood fills my days.
My zeal for you is that upbeat reeves.

Now I must away with a frozen heart.
Memorize my posh terms whilst we're apart.

Will you stop raising the bar Lasaad, esp the square crowbar, incredible imagery with your inimitable nuances and quirks of the English language becoming your very own brand and trademark, outstanding work, cheers David
