Notes About The Poem

PERSONALLY SPEAKING Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Nette Onclaud
Written on November 3, 2025
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

This Autumn Crypt


Submerged in fiery red and golden blond
My heart is burdened by whispers of wind
Who write stories on my spirit, dismal
Moments when I yield to the sun’s will
Who will dress my fragile notes in wine
And peace that never feels quite as great 
As the caress of each dream fading from night
Who stifles my breath with soft moonlight
