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.
