Chris Hagy Poet Rhyme

October Wind

October wind blows warm today
  Carrying these dark thoughts away
    How strong it feels across my face 
      As if from some other time and place
         As summer sun invades the fall
           I answer to its beckon call 
             Basking in its final glow
               Before I hear the fall of snow
                 While birds in song fill the air
                   As they serenade a final fair
                      I am content to listen and dream
                        Of the Everlasting Day of a Living Stream
                          October wind blows warm today
                             And carries my spirit            
                                                                *
                                                                    *
                                                                        *                
                                                                           Far
                                                                                 *
                                                                                     and
                                                                                           *      
                                                                                                A w a y…

Jesse Zerlaut April 3, 2017 at 10:38 AM I absolutely feel this poem down in my bones. I love a good fall wind, and the last light of autumn before it gets super cold and snowy. What a wonderful poem, Chris! 7 from me.

Doug Vinson March 22, 2017 at 8:29 PM Oh HECK yes! : ) Chris, what a good read! A swirling, comforting read full of earth and weather. Chris Hagy March 26, 2017 at 3:27 PM Thanks for visiting Doug, glad my "wind" was comforting:)

Andrea Dietrich December 18, 2016 at 6:25 PM I LOVE it, Chris. It's very much in the same theme and tone of one of my favorite poems I wrote this past month as well. Sweet Demise (can't even remember its full title but it's blank verse) This one of yours deserves a SEVEN Chris Hagy December 22, 2016 at 6:29 PM Glad you like this Andrea...of course I'm running to your poem now because I know it's great! Thanks for reading:)

Andrea Dietrich December 18, 2016 at 6:23 PM wow, working on a novel, Huh? Probably I knew that a long time ago!! I am seeing the ending of this poem and it reminds me of an ee cummings poem I once read. Now let me read this poem of yours.

Paul Callus October 11, 2016 at 10:31 AM This is so lovely, Chris! October winds gift you with inspiration! I also like the layout....do I see a kite flying with the wind? May I add that you too have been reaching new heights as regards poetry writing:) Regards // paul Chris Hagy October 12, 2016 at 7:23 PM Thanks so much for the lovely comments Paul! Another souper observed a kite as well...I really just intended for the lines to look windswept, but now I see it does look like a kite! happy accident I guess:) Have great day:)
