John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

October Sun

October Sun…!!!   Our summer fun
      and playful romps in clover,
   our laid back days have gone their ways;
         the equinox is over.

As climate drifts your orbit shifts
      towards the Earth’s equator,
   and you become the biased one,
         the season’s arbitrator.

As foliage falls and coolness calls,
      the days are growing shorter;
   October Sun, the callous one,
         the summertime’s exporter.

Jennifer Proxenos November 4, 2019 at 2:18 PM I Love this poem John, you describe seasonal change so brilliantly - although I must say, so far our summer has not been as overwhelming as last year which was unbearable! Only a few months and our summer will come to you, I know your winters are a great deal harsher than ours! Our move is over, yay! We are now in our new home! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. John Gondolf November 4, 2019 at 10:10 PM Thank you, Jenn, can you tell I prefer summer. I appreciate you and your thoughts. All the best my dear friend. Hugs, John

Gershon Wolf October 27, 2019 at 1:27 PM Your writes are a joy for me to read, John. I especially love the classicism of stanzas such as the last one here. Warm October wishes, Gershon John Gondolf October 27, 2019 at 3:48 PM thanks so much, Gershon, your thoughts and comment are much appreciated. John

Sunlite Wanter October 27, 2019 at 10:38 AM Very nice. Can the form be called "alliteration" also. I don't go for forms very much, but just thought of this. John Gondolf October 27, 2019 at 10:52 AM Thanks, Sunlite, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. John
