Written on June, 4th 2025 for Joseph May's Choose A Line 3 Poetry Contest 2. "Lingering leaves of gold frolic / frolicked in the autumn wind"
"Lingering leaves of gold frolic in the autumn wind," Swept up by bygone breezes, already collapsing before they begin, As disillusionment clouds an overtired soul— Misplaced and irretrievable To a society that ravenously disembowels empathy, Twists and mangles trust until it becomes unrecognizably disfigured, Leaving the carcass to be plucked by bone-thin vultures, Fed by culture’s apathetic, parasitic narcissism, Under the boiling, pre-winter sun.
