The Last Chrysanthemum

Oh, last mum standing, with head bowed low, to pinch my spirit as I watch you go. Your mates all gone, kissed by father frost will you now surrender and leave me lost - longing for the blush of red on your nose calling for delay of sharp winter snows?

I ponder endlessly the last of things. The last time I'll see a person or place. The last time I'll do a certain thing or speak a common phrase. Now you have added one more thing to my list, and I'll remember this every time I think of your poem while glancing at that last November mum.

This was beautiful a little sad but still a wonderfully descriptive and touching piece.
