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

I think you meant “Remembering”. I enjoyed the poem and the tree shape added to the mood.

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....

The clouds are grey but I see blue skies and fields of green as far as the eyes can see in the future

"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.

That is a beautiful quote, it has inspired some thoughts of the inferno of colour burst through forests and the woods.

OZ is free'er and in your face BRAVE swimming in deep water with Sharks ...U.S.A. is a Big Dream Gone Awry, in a Clint Eastwood Magnum F'cluster way.....beautiful, big 'n sexy, but somehow gone astray... Big Time, Bang Bang ...gun laws and all the rest etc...:). x

Interesting, considering after the 2 hour walk I did around Chicago y'day, I was walking around Boston in the rain....lovely. I love rain. Boston looks cool....
