Treat, Hail and Cheer

November 13, 2013

Tiny princesses in colors bright
and wee pirates who of treats delight.
Have come and gone on All Hallows night
giving naught but glee ne'er a fright.

Colors getting vibrant in bright sunshine
greens become red, yellow, brown in time.
Billowing winds making church bells chime
calling to all in Autumns rhyme.

'Fore fall wanes we honor those who fought
with that sacrafice our freedoms bought.
Thier own comfort, giving not a thought
Hail them we do, or at least we aught.

Now our ancestors feast we prepare
to celebrate and show we still care.
As winter looms in shadowy air
for all they braved, yet do we dare.

A lovely vision of children...
the innocence which is precious...
Nature in itself is beauty and cherished...
But do you dare? Hmmm

Love and Light,
Lily

Your words are painted pictures we love to read. You create autumn leaves floating in words and as they assimilate into our souls, we want more.

I'm a soft touch for seasonal poetry, having grown over years to regard the subject matter always uplifting and hopeful. BTW, one of my all time favorite and inspiring pieces of cinema is "Spring, Summer, Fall Winter and Spring" written and directed by Kim Ki duk. An absolute stunner in its depiction of life through the seasons with but three main characters. Well worth finding. I know you'd enjoy it.
