It’s Friday, (and although I am a little late)-I am bringing you Poetry in Five with today’s special word being FALL. I chose to go the direction of the seasons, with double meanings (as I often like to do when writing poetry) in both talking about the literal season of Fall , and season’s of life as well. I hope you enjoy today’s delight! Let me know what you think… Here goes:
Lessons of Fall:
Leaves of Gold-
(their former green),
The richest color
briefly seen.
A canopy
of purest light,
Falls glittering down-
into the night.
As winds of change
draw ever near,
The trees-
They seem to have no fear.
They know it’s time-
They must transform.
And with that,
Something new is born.
And so it’s been,
Since the dawn of time-
All things must learn,
To bend with clime.

I love your poem. You are incredibly talented. I love the winds of change. Well, I don’t love them while I am in them, but they usually end up being better. Sometimes that is hard to remember.
Thanks so much for your kind words Pattyann-they mean so much to me. I hope someday to do something more with my poetry- it is a dream of mine! So if someone likes what I write, it makes me feel these things are a little more possible 😀 . While I wait for my ship to come in (haha) I am grateful for a chance to write and share during FMF with all of the lovely ladies. I tend to not love the winds of change while in them either -I suppose many of us are that way.
Love this poem. Just beautiful!
