Constance La France Poet I do not know?

Notes About The Poem

The Season of Love

The
maple
leaves are burnt
orange and red
falling and drifting.

It is Thanksgiving-
we gather all our love,
all together again;
the turkey is divine,
the pumpkin pie so sublime.
Goodbye-  see you at Christmas!

Outside is a picture perfect winter wonderland,
the family is gathered around a roaring fire;
or am I lost in a Christmas cornucopia dreamland?
I can hear, so clearly a church choir . . . 
The snow is deep in the place they forever lay,
under a gray Christmas sky (a girl alone) will pray.

Russell Sivey October 25, 2017 at 3:36 AM What a sad piece, but excellently expressed my friend! I really loved the lines, "I can hear, so clearly a church choir.../The snow is deep in the place they forever lay,/under a gray Christmas sky (a girl alone) will pray." What an expressive poem, so full of emotion! I surely enjoyed reading your amazing piece here this morning! What a fabulous poem, Great Work!!
