Jeanne Mcgee Poet Rhyme

Departs Autumn

Lost leaves repeat their yearly teardrop curtain fall

                in blended rhythms cry ~
  departing hues of autumns call

                and tolls the sound of death 
  on sodden grounding groove

when next the blanket worn is white 
                like satin laying smooth

Sigrid Ermine September 21, 2020 at 2:00 AM Sweet melancholy expressed perfectly. 'yearly teadrop curtain fall' sounds so good, conjures so strongly. The whole verse reads like a song. Sits together like brickwork. Jeanne, Congratulations on your marvellous poem and Win! Jeanne Mcgee September 23, 2020 at 6:18 AM Thank you for such kind and glowing words, Sigrid. You lifted my spirits today. :D

Sam Kauffman September 20, 2020 at 9:28 AM Jeanne, you have seamlessly taken us from one season to the next with your beautiful, visceral images. Love your action oriented verbs - "toll." Congratulations on your winning placement. Jeanne Mcgee September 20, 2020 at 7:28 PM ding, dong, ding....thank you Sam, :D

Andrea Dietrich September 4, 2020 at 3:12 PM gorgeous. I often write about the ending of summer or fall and how blends into winter. Such a "natural" thing to write about with beautiful imagery like this. Jeanne Mcgee September 4, 2020 at 9:03 PM I have now returned to the south and Mexico is hot and steamy still...hurricanes are on the horizon so I'm sure my writing is about to shift again, lol, I can't wait to read some of your upcoming fall/winter poetry.
