Sotto Poet Poet Nonet

Notes About The Poem

Repeating Cycle

A blue haze hovers in the dimmed sky 
while blackbirds sing a rusted shriek
rusted leaves crunch and crackle
Sun-tanned stalks cover fields
The last red leaves drop
Dark trees and shrubs
Air chills cheeks
flames dim
brisk

Valsa George November 6, 2022 at 8:08 PM The salient feature of Nature in autumn is beautifully caught in your nonet... the coloring of leaves, their withering and the air growing chilly ! A worthy entry for the contest ! Wish you all the best dear friend !
