Daver Austin Poet Free verse

Note Quite Autumn

It hasn't bitten yet
Sense lingers still of green and blue
But memories come shivering
My skin still damp    though    chilling through

Something in the air
Spells of heaviness    gently falling
Strange music of despair
Through Nature's voice is calling

Vince Suzadail Jr. September 24, 2011 at 10:27 AM Congrats Daver on your featured write. My wife asked me if the heat bothered me this summer and I told her yes, but no complaints. You don't have to shovel heat. Autumn is beautiful as is each season but I'm not a fan of the cold. Vince

Andrea Dietrich May 26, 2010 at 6:30 PM Love it, Daver, very atmospheric! Sybl WAS good, but kind of over my head intellectually. I adored your book of childhood!!

Valerie Bellefleur August 26, 2008 at 8:35 AM A foredboding of a coming Fall - "strange music of dispair" which we all feel when summer is over and we know we must face winter.

Kristin Reynolds August 26, 2008 at 3:47 AM I agree with Stacey, Autumn is a feeling/mood, it is life! You speak like an angel - this poem is going in my favorites, as autumn is my fave season and you captured her coming perfectly. Well done, love Kristin

August 25, 2008 at 1:53 PM Nice use of imagery to forward your thoughts in this one. I like autumn but then winter is around the corner--not so fond of the below zero temps. Interesting reflection. Thank you for sharing it. Karen

Michael Degenhardt August 24, 2008 at 6:12 AM No, when we think the season's change is in effect, it seems to have foolded us again. Love the rhyme and imagery in this. Michael
