That Pause Between Summer And Autumn

For: SEASONS NOW AND AFTER Poetry Contest Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Date: August 6, 2025
*****
Somewhere between the summer and the rain you left and left me lonesome once again. The tiger-lily and the bumblebee are pleased to keep their simple company. The young black-tailed deer and her spotted fawn take morning leisure on the fresh mown lawn Two-by-two life moves through each season's flow, How each day follows day I do not know. Snapdragons bloom amongst the marigold, the sun and rain still color rainbows bold. But I am paused within Autumn's shadow; Loneliness becomes my cold bedfellow.
