Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Foreshadowing

In the hear of a summer day
I dream of Autumn 
Autumn - where leaves change color and fall to the ground 
Autumn - where football season begins and 
millions watch the electric warriors on TV
I remember buying pencils and a lunchbox 
Now I await students as an ESL instructor 
The summer wind will soon turn to a colder autumn wind 
As September - and later October have their way 
The waning of the years will begin 
After autumn will come icy days here in New York City 
The change of seasons reminds one of one's mortality 
Indeed, summer will die 
But after that  - something glorious is coming!

Poet Destroyer A December 25, 2013 at 11:43 PM Hi Matt, , I did not want to leave you out of my Happy Jolly Momment.. Sending you a Christmas Carol.... -- Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bob tails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh HEY! :) <-- You got to love it I do hope you sang with me... Goodnight my friend... LINDA
