Listen to poem:

Exit the Autumnal Equinox

Exit the Autumnal Equinox 
David J Walker

Decades of decay line the lanes of
Seasonal death scenes descending to
Another frozen winter

The master of the Autumnal Equinox 
dispenses its mercies 
At best sparingly 

Transitions subtle 
Under the blended reflection 
of a cooler sun

Yellow as yarrow 
Rusted blood red orange 
Pinks disappear on 
The western horizon 

Dark mountains lined 
With Aspin and Pine 
Only get in the way 

Of Autumn leaving and
Winters grand entrance 
In a distant storm 

Formed 
in ice and snow

Hello David, you are welcome. Summer is my favourite season then Fall then Spring. I am not a fan of winter. Happy Thanksgiving Day to you my friend.
