A Lonely Season

Crisp chills of air betwixt the leaves;
Uninterrupted,their autumnal descent.
Shed from clusters of molting trees,
Color fades from limbs barren and bent.

Branches shiver in the shifting wind,
Foretelling colder times to come.
Wynorrific,a blood red moon
Strikes fear into the hearts of some.

Dreary clouds adorn the sky,
As mist enshrouds the ground.
Moonlight shadows cast ambient
Cascades of darkness all around.

Loneliness seems surrounding

fluttering from the autumn tree."

Premium MemberHalf 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

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 MemberOctober, 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 MemberSkeleton’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

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
