If Never To Write Again of Autumn

the chroma of autumn lingers grounded on the hills there's an emptiness within its soul where the trees now stand bare i sit on the branches a sullen life colorless and naked the same shivering in the echoes of winds that know not my name i fall within the shadows cast of piercing skies motionless, distorted where faces have no eyes i see me in reflections of grounded crimson pools rising in the cold of death my ink is now bled dry

Another wonderfully written piece, Sandy. This is the way I feel about autumn in about November. Then I start looking forward to spring. Have a good weekend my friend. Hugs, John

Thank you...autumn is an up and down emotional time for me...it signifies births, deaths, beauty, cold.... hope you have a great weekend my friend :) hugs

How vividly your ink paints, the last two stanzas were especially effective at 'tingling' me. Yes, I was tingled and I liked it for it speaks to how effective your skills are. The poem's mood is heavy and all over me now so I'm going to Jan's place and find a limerick. You and free verse are such an accomplished couple, Sweetie. Love, CayCay

- Many people get pictures of beautiful nature in red and yellow on the retina when they hear the word autumn - Others get cold creepy thoughts and "dark time pondering" in the head, when the thought of autumn says ... we are all so different -A wonderful poem, Sandra :) - Happy weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Wow again! You just keep amazing girl! Wonderful write!;)
