L Milton Hankins Poet Free verse

Shadows Like Spider Webs

Shadows like spider webs across the lane
Shape-shifting slowly as the sun drifts
Across oranges of autumn making the hills sing.
I think of waning summer days and
Autumn's chilly nights soon coming,
Calling for warm jackets and scarves,
While the squirrels bed down in their nests
To await the coming of another spring
For scampering in yonder meadow flowering.

Caren Krutsinger September 27, 2021 at 9:32 PM The alliteration in this poem is incredible - all the S's and all of the c's - and then you add scampering adding the s and the C. Was this intentional or a brilliant accident? L Milton Hankins September 27, 2021 at 9:48 PM An accident, Caren. I don't know how brilliant it was. It just happens sometimes.
