Sadness In Autumn

Her coolness of air brings death to my mind.
At the age of twelve my innocence gone.
My selfless grandma was one of a kind.
God took her to heaven September dawn.


Death for other people not family.
Grim reaper madness had taken my heart.
I sat all day and cried under oak tree.
Sorrowful feelings tore me straight apart.

My mother was a wreck, my sister too.
October much better actually.
Autumn so ruined for me always true.
Torn swiftly apart, our whole family. 

Forever season of sadness for us.
Grandma taken away seriousness.

I so much liked your poem, Caren.. There's always a unique beauty and depth in pain and sufferings.. It keeps digging up the depth of the soul to touch the essence of the nature of the human being.. A wonderful Sonnet! Warmest wishes and regards. Blessings

I'm sorry autumn is sad for you... I have encountered death in the autumn months too but it's still my favorite season. Prayers for you always and blessings

Thank you my friend. My favorite season is spring for there are lilies, tulips, violets, and mudpuddles!
