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…

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.

Oh HECK yes! : ) Chris, what a good read! A swirling, comforting read full of earth and weather.

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

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.

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

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:)
