Janet Lorenzo Poet Prose Poetry

Here Comes Fall

July came while I was asleep;
She laughed and ran through rivers deep.
She rested under brilliant skies
And used her time to make me wise.

Silently, August crept into my dream;
 With sparkling diamonds on dappled streams;
Her days were long and bright and wild;
Her nights, calm as a sleeping child.

Then the days went rushing away;
Whirling and soaring with each sunray.
Spinning and crashing into one glorious dawn;
And when I awoke, summer was gone.

Frederic Parker August 14, 2015 at 10:02 PM Your poem expresses the passage of time well, your last stanza ends it beautifully

Tim Smith August 14, 2015 at 12:23 PM Summer does seem to fly by. Close your eyes for a second and it is gone. Lovely Tim Janet Lorenzo September 12, 2015 at 11:48 AM thanks for reading! That's exactly why i wrote this -
