Sam Kauffman Poet Tetractys

Harvest Door

Harvest Door

Indian summer sighs a shy farewell
Days pit-a-pat
To a door
Closing 
Shut
~
Fall
Knocking
Quietly
In harvest moons
While frost blows air kisses through the keyhole.

John Watt September 17, 2020 at 8:27 PM Nice use of the door/keyhole metaphor to paint a picture of the passage between summer and autumn, my friend. Hearty congrats for your first place finish! Elbow bumps! Sam Kauffman September 21, 2020 at 10:45 AM Hi John! Thank you! The door image just seemed to welcome the idea of time passing.
