Marc O'Brien Poet Sestina

Upon Watching A Leaf Fall From The Tree

Season of death
Told to fear 
Before bitter cold 
Making everyone scream 
For some warmth 
And loving touch 
Stay in touch 
After the death 
With some warmth
And no fear 
Morbid many scream 
Awaiting the cold 
Decide embrace cold  
With forceful touch  
Hear the scream 
Proclaiming the death 
Eyes express fear 
Needing some warmth 
Getting the warmth 
Fighting the cold 
And the fear 
With caring touch 
Defeating ugly death 
That creates a scream

Why a scream?
All filled warmth 
Body shell death 
Purple silver cold 
Ghosts need touch 
Soothe the Fear
Dispense the fear 
Memories laughing scream 
Everyone seems touch
Words igniting warmth 
Melting the cold 
Celebrating the death  
Conquering fear death 
Instead scream warmth 
When touch cold
