Toxic Autumn

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)





Leaves are turning,


Crackling

Burning.

Flags,

Flapping

Parchments.

Scattering.

Leaves are turning

Rustling

Rushing

A stream

A waterfall

Cascading

Blustering

Music

Seduces

Sleep

Encased

In glassy

Embrace

We lie

Sheltered

From autumn’s

Stain

Soothed

By the hiss

Of rain

Atmospheric and dynamic, beautiful poem!

Everything seems to be on fire here and still at peace at the same.

I see images that reminds me of the coming together of a "beauty" and a "beast"

Love the way you use natural elements as a source of inspiration. I use colours most times especially black.

This is fantastic.

thanks, @mimy. That is a really good comment as you penetrated into the subtext.

I am thrilled. You are welcome.

I've just started on Steemit and this has been a really nice poem to have as an introduction to the community. So much imagery for so few words. Nice work :)

I really enjoyed the imagery in this autumn poem @johnjgeddes thank you for sharing!

It's an Expressionist poem

Love the way this piece reads, and it really does summon a certain mood for me. Splendid writing :)

thanks, Tina - It's an incantation
