Connie Marcum Wong Poet Etheree

October Rain - Etheree

As
hoarfrost
forms on the
colorful quilt 
beneath autumn's trees, 
raindrops begin their free
flight fall, their pure October
symphony in solitude with
the restless wind, unpredictable
as my contemplation of our future.

Emile Pinet September 25, 2015 at 9:12 AM A somber poem that speaks volumes about the mind set of the author, aware of her surroundings and yet, lost in thought and self contemplation. Emile. #7 Connie Marcum Wong September 25, 2015 at 4:39 PM Thank you Emile. I think the rain is a wonderful time for reflection. You understood my meaning perfectly. Cheers, Connie

Constance La France September 21, 2015 at 9:49 AM Connie, oh so lovely, beautifully penned for the contest and thanks for visiting my poem, October Flowers ....

Mark J. Halliday September 21, 2015 at 1:44 AM Nice etheree. Regarding the last line, was 'our' referring to collective humanity or to you and someone you care about? Connie Marcum Wong September 21, 2015 at 2:01 AM A little bit of both. My husband has been ill and is getting better but he also has a heart condition. And so I pray. As for humanity I pray also and can barely watch the news and then get sleep. Thanks Mark. Cheers, Connie
