AFTERMATH
Autumn makes plans that never work out
then collapses in tears as her leaves break down
but sympathy saves her with mournful reason
nostalgia for light in the dying season.

Hi there Ray,
Hope all is well with you!
I love the poem: pithy and affecting. Funnily enough this is probably my favourite time of year, along with spring. But that's only because I have hay fever.
Take care,
Suki
HI Col. I'm determined to bag up the leaves this year and they can rot for all I care - I want them too to lard on the ground. Thanks for liking.
Thank you Wardah, glad you enjoyed this.
Nice that you were drawn to the last line Hannah. I spontaneously made that up while talking to my wife, and thought it was enough to conjure up a poem . Thanks.
Thanks also Steve, ahh those Autumn Leaves (great tune by the way).

This truly describes Autumn. I feel strongly about the last line. We are helpless against this season as the darkness draws in and leaves start to decay.

This is sad but lovely.?

Sorry to be late back Suki - all's well thanks for asking. That hay fever is a bummer; I started to get it and now take cider vinegar every day , failing that local honey. Worked a treat for me . I love the light variation in spring and autumn!
