Barbara Gorelick Poet Quatrain

Fall Comes Softly

She came to the ball in splendid fashion
Her entry slow and sure, full of graces
Her perfume spoke of the smells of fall
and her sweet breath soft on summer faces....

Taking summer by it's  trembling hand
They waltzed together across the fields
Knowing they would meet again next year
And celebrate in glory when  summer yields....



For the Fall contest

Joyce Johnson August 28, 2010 at 1:22 PM Lovely LBarbara. A winner for sure. I just read yur blog and I have been looking for your contest results because I found you had rated me in my contest files but the contest has not closed. Don't stress. If you add more poems and the ratings change, I think that will be manageable. I have been thinking it is time I sponsor a contest, but I think I will wait until things cool down. Love, Joyce

De R August 28, 2010 at 10:29 AM Wonderful imagery, Barbara. Summer and fall waltzing together, such a sweet image:) Good luck in the contest! Emily
