Summer Falls

SUMMER FALLS April heralds Summers March as she leaves behind her warm glow in blazing trail of red and orange hues pursued by winds she trips and Falls chastened to submit to colder paths stormy clouds-- thunderous showers shedding garments of leaves and color exposes herself baring dark squall bruises behind fragmented damp misty wisp SUMMER FALLS AS WINTER CALLS © Kim van Breda—April 2014 (The start of another winter here in Cape Town)

Hi Kim. I'm the new kid in town, but making friends fast. The seasons reversed (sounds like a poem). I lived in Australia for two years, so I know about the seasons--and the the way the water flushes counterclockwise. Anyway, I luv your poem. "...damp misty wisp" what a cool ending! Drop by anytime. ;) mel

Kim, what a lovely poem...The imagery was fine...Shedding garments of leaves and color...and the dark squall bruises. Great touch. Hope all is well! Hugs
