Interlude

“In the fall, I believe again in poetry...”
— Jaakko A. Ahokas

When September comes through heated breezes,
sunflowers watch droll dragonflies duet
to tunes of melodic taunts and teases
of Autumn's promise to pay Summer's debt.
A bright season greets us without regret.
Behind is buried under yesterday
and tomorrow is waiting for its say.
Joyful is this moment in Nature's arms
when time suspends until it finds its way
and ripe Autumn casts its bountiful charms.

David Crandall Date: 8/2/2025 4:01:00 PM Poetic images and rhymes about Autumns welcome return. I think where you live, autumn is more welcome than where I live. :-) Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 8/3/2025 7:30:00 AM I fear your Autumn is our Summer. Predicted heat, heat, heat through September. LOL No complaints though. This is not hot compared to other places I've lived. Thanks friend. Good to see you! :)

Susan Ashley Date: 7/27/2025 8:06:00 AM Dear Linda, your poem captures the splendor of September and Autumn with brilliant imagery and rhymes. I love September and Autumn and I adore your title which animates the transition and lull between summer and fall so beautifully. I was especially struck by "Autumn's promise to pay Summer's debt" -wow! and "Behind is buried under yesterday/and tomorrow is waiting for its say" - amazing! But every line sparkles like the September sun in blue skies. Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 7/27/2025 8:21:00 AM Your comments are always encouraging and truly welcome dear Susan. Thank you I trust you have a lovely week ahead! :)

Gary Radice Date: 7/23/2025 11:36:00 PM That is one fascinating rhyme scheme Linda; I'm not familiar with the dizain form but you've nailed it. (ababbccdcd) I need to read up more on poetry forms. The title caught my eye because I was reminded of the 1968 film of the same name and the song: "Interlude" by Timi Yuro - perhaps my favourite song from a film of all time. I digress. Nature comes alive in your poem and the use of the title is masterful here. "Behind is buried under yesterday" speaks new beginnings. Cheers - Gary Login to Reply Gary Radice Date: 7/26/2025 11:03:00 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qXej8xJeLk&list=RDMM&index=9. If ever there was a poem put to music it is Timi Yuro's Interlude. I'm off to read a couple more of your poems. Cheers - Gary Linda Alice Fowler Date: 7/24/2025 5:17:00 PM Welcome Gary - good to see you! Wow, I hadn't thought of it till you just mentioned it. Yes, a fine song indeed! Think I'll see if I can stream it. Thanks for the sweet comment and thanks for the memories! :)
