New Day In the Metropolis

The demons and ghosts
of last night 
have faded with the morning light 
A nice crisp day 
here in the metropolis
Sun streaming in 
through my window 
A new day filled 
with possibilities 
I take out a pen 
and write this ode
The midsummer heat 
has faded 
Now, city dwellers 
can enjoy the fall 
The High Holidays, football and 
Halloween coming up 
Autumn leaves dance downward 
onto the pavement 
A brief respite 
before winter chill 
enters our very bones!

The First 2 lines have already caught my attention. All the more reason for having the rest of the lines especially the last line. A great twist for that matter. ;)

I now can imagine a creepy night fading softly into the new day. Matt, I'll take the possibilities over anything. You have a very high muse and I enjoy the way you put your pen to use. I should take a lesson from you one day. Love LINDA
