Notes About The Poem

Cottage- I think I need to live here.:

- October -

The life light shimmers in the air
Love and delights

Death and pain
Drowsy in numbness

The leaves have never known
Embalmed darkness with grief

Cold winter is coming soon
Silver bells and white snow

Stardust, northern lights and moonlight
While wonder and guesses

Hello Anne-Lise, These couplets rendered under the title of "October" (to me) are quite meaningful and bespeak definite images which compare and contrast with one another in a very interesting fashion. What an interesting technique, with the image-statement first, then followed projected result in each couplet. At least this is what I both see and interpret. Short verses in this instance, written cogently and with an immediacy, can be very powerful to the reader. TR/FAV!! Best, Gary
