Notes About The Poem
Inspired by the Fall.
Lady Autumn
Lady Autumn lies discarded now.
Her stick- like bones
are on the ground where they had blown.
Fiery colors of her leafy dresses
lie in brown, heaped on frosted icy ground.
Sparkling gossamer that held her hair in ivied wreathes
unraveled by the bitter winds--
almost as if saying
she can never dance again.
But promises of spring, appear
in tight buds on dry twigs
Blowing winds whisper secrets
of summer’s emerald green
Trapped within a stone-cold, kingdom's
dormant majesty.
As Winter makes his stormy presence near,
she looks to fading crimson skies
and feels her spirit rise
