Premium Member Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall
Why is Sumner such a short time? Just getting started, then running into half past summer. July seems to be the half way mark, August is almost here. August will turn into September then into October, then fall will be here. Fall with cooler days, a pretty carpet of colorful leaves covering the ground....

Early One October Morning
The smell of humidor Charmed the old house and Frightened me as I ascended the Narrow stairwell that gentle October morning. The song of autumn was playing Low, and with astute grace. Silent, the royal smell wafted between Cuba And Denmark, Across fat rank grass of fecund roots. I snuffled through fogs of earliness, Webbed by clamping cold. Cigars without smoke took over from the Humidor and hugged...

The Clocks Go Back One Hour
Time changes with life and life changes with time. October grows too old, Hobbling backwards With the burden of years, On the sinuous alcove of time, Tenebrous and feathery, Her hidden lamps blinking furiously At the silhouettes of wasted days. The wasted leaves of autumn Break forth and dance down With the weak speed of burnt confetti. The clocks go back several ticks, Schlepping on the tired...

Mother's Daughter
Mother’s Daughter As they delivered you into the world upside-down, they wiped you clean With steady hands that did not shake with the thunder of the firmament Laying you upon my chest, each gazing into the other’s grey-blue irises full of Wonderment, I believe we knew each other since the universe came to be with a bang Of equal intensity Your...

Premium Member october brushed by
october brushed by in the midst of an october sunrise bearing splashes of colors beyond description like a thick acrylic paint mixture crimson with cadmium yellow thrown…scattered like seed…by the hand of god morning unfolds like a delicate rose light crawls like aching fingers touching soft lips that moisten the sands, retreating, sliding like...

Premium Member October, You Amaze Me
God in all His majesty gives us now His tenth great gift of multifarious joys. Ghostwinds whistle lilting tunes, motivating dancing leaves to make their scuttling noise. Distant hills are masterpieces. God, the Artist, planned the blend of reddish brown and gold. Mums and pumpkins fill their spots in front-yard settings bright and bold. ...

Premium Member Skeleton’s Been Left To Rot Since October
Yard skeleton hazard’s a stay. He smells like a fish aft’ three days. We wish he’d keel over, But one might discover the neighbor’s been dead, sans sway. How bad we’d all feel - all the same, the grit and the bow are to blame. The holiday...

Hallowed King
Out of misery—and for what? What am I to do without my eyes of fog? I am but a ghastly figure, trapped within my reality. Pain once made me boundless and free, Yet through the starry night, I feel love and dwell in it. For luck’s sake, I am now chained to grace! I must not, nor will I, lose myself...

10th of October 2024
10.10.2024 Have you finished all your projects? It is wise to get them done quick. Make hay while sunshine. This would be my last advice. Until you apologize. Respect was what you lack of. A simple word of goodbye would be fine. But you could not manage and Turned into ......... You constantly gave me threats, When I caused you no harm. Once you wrote "I...

Premium Member Fall
Cooler breezes give us relief from the stifling heat, A signal autumn is coming, and summer is in full retreat. Leaves on the trees turn yellow, orange, red and brown, As the days grow shorter, they eventually find their way to the ground. As temperatures continue to cool, animals prepare for the cold months ahead, Birds, reptiles, and mammals make...

Goodbye
October 2024 It is painfully over. Now, I have no energy and time to write. After six months exhausting myself, To keep the simple, fun but impossible friendship alive. I know, I had said many times the word "Goodbye" Help me to take you off my mind. You only wrote once and then everything was done. That was how powerful someone could have...
