Ts Poetry Poet Dramatic Verse

Near Autumn

limbs have been twisted 
on blackened tongues of enmity

twigs of tormentia broken
settling deep into the arbors 
where sun refuses to shine 

disinigrated now,
left a crumpled brown 
walked upon and crushed

still somehow remembering what once was 

green - with life 
vibrant and free
floating in an oceanic breeze 
tantalizing the tease 
with beauty
so so tenderly 

but time has a way of ruining,
reminding, reprimanding 
fated days gone ill 
broken in disrepair 
despair 
lost 
lost
lost

gone 
the songbird serenades
gone

Richard Lamoureux November 10, 2019 at 12:47 PM I think you meant “Remembering”. I enjoyed the poem and the tree shape added to the mood. Ts Poetry November 10, 2019 at 12:49 PM Thanks Rick, that's what I get for posting from my phone

Lady Labyrinth November 10, 2019 at 11:27 AM p.s. above poem is needing some Alka-Seltzer....maybe some sun - I'm sure it's dismally grey and cold there with Winter setting in. Just a 'simple' musing.... Ts Poetry November 10, 2019 at 11:30 AM The clouds are grey but I see blue skies and fields of green as far as the eyes can see in the future

Lady Labyrinth November 10, 2019 at 8:06 AM "Autumn reveals all her colours before Winter breezes in and tries to kiss you with her cold lips"...damn that's good, might save to quotes. Ts Poetry November 10, 2019 at 11:38 AM That is a beautiful quote, it has inspired some thoughts of the inferno of colour burst through forests and the woods.
