Unkind Autumn
Roaring winds swirl the brittle leaves,
Undressed and cold stand tenuous trees.
Birds silently sing a mournful song,
Curtains of clouds are thick and long.
Immutable wheel of time moves on,
Stunning spring and summer are gone.
Pain and unrest, are intertwined,
Autumn regrets for being unkind.
In every leaf, in every bare tree,
Sorrow soars autumn steals their glee.
Formidable storms sweep gardens glow,
And whisk the roses from every row.
Spring is far, with winter interlude,
Bereft of green robes, earth stays nude.
Smearing the clouds sun demurely peeps,
Why sketch of sadness autumn seeks?
