Brian Baumgarn Poet Sonnet

October's Crown

The gath'ring dusk draws this fall day to term.
October crowned with warmth and radiant light.
The sun in arc across the sky confirms
that these fall days be passionate and bright.

Heroic are the colors autumn wears,
yet soon their rich-hued robe will fade away.
Then comes the sting of winter's icy airs.
We wish that frozen season could delay.

The gleanings of these golden days are rich.
A cache of gifts held in our hearts, sublime.
Nostalgia is the providence with which,
we warm our spirit during winter-time.

Hold fast, through dormant seasons, keen and cold.
Soon warmth will grace spring light to be extolled.

                              October's Crown
                              10-15-15

Richard Lamoureux October 20, 2015 at 8:57 AM It really is an amazing time of the year. Well expressed Brian. Brian Baumgarn October 21, 2015 at 4:27 AM I agree, and fall is as much an attitude as it is all the beauty and bounty. Brian Baumgarn October 20, 2015 at 11:02 PM Thanks, Richard, I hope this time of year is filled with color and happy times, too.

Viv Wigley October 18, 2015 at 1:03 PM Lovely Sonnet, Brian, with a beautiful finish. A #7 and a fave for me, thanks very much. Regards, Viv Brian Baumgarn October 18, 2015 at 11:09 PM Thanks, Viv, forgot I had this in my files. Yea, with a sonnet you have just so many lines to tell a story and that's it. Hope you are doing well. Be Blessed!
