Jean Murray Poet Sonnet

New Fall

Here's a new fall sonnet for a new fall.
Once again I am completely enthralled
Crystal clear beauty that is all around.
Multi colored leaves scattered on the ground.

Sun at a slant but with it's focus sharp.
Shines low on the scenes that capture my heart.
Frost in the air from advancing winter.
Just the thought of it makes my heart splinter.

Cozy nights knitting by the open fire.
Grandchildren things, they are my heart's desire.
New year ahead, new wonders to unfold.
Sometimes it is nice to be getting old.

Time to savor nature's gifts that abound.
Before I myself end up underground.

Eve Roper November 14, 2019 at 8:54 PM crazy , but delightful, don't want to see you end up underground. Love the sonnet, good luck in the contest. hugs Jean Murray December 9, 2019 at 6:08 AM Eve that is so sweet of you. I'm number 8 now on the next issue. I must remember you with my next order.Hugs. Eve Roper November 15, 2019 at 3:58 PM I would love to have a copy of those books if you can order more if you wouldn't mine. :) Jean Murray November 15, 2019 at 3:35 AM Thank you Eve. I obviously have a certain style and know well my limitations now. I have self published five books of sixty poems, all embossed on relevant photos. For my own use only of course. I'm hoping if my daughters ever stumble on the stash they will enjoy them.

Jan Allison November 11, 2019 at 4:55 PM absolutely charming Jean, hope you get those grandchildren one day. I especially love the lines 'Sun at a slant but with it's focus sharp. Shines low on the scenes that capture my heart' I do find the low sun a pain when I'm driving to/from work though!good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan x Jean Murray November 11, 2019 at 5:24 PM Jan, I was heart warmed last evening to see my Poetrysoup parents still taking the time to comment on my efforts here. Autumn must be my favourite time of year. I certainly have more that a few poems about it now. Lovely as always to hear from you. Thank you.
