Early Fall Frost

Over roof and eaves
peering first among the leaves
autumnal sun.

Early frost and dew
for the moment glistening
autumnal sun.

Day breaks warmly at
a new season's dawn
red leaves.

Porch-set with cup in hand
craving crossword at hand
steaming coffee.

Wondering why time seems
to pause, and wait for
us to savour.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I think that it does pause about now. What a wonderful reminder.
