I'm reposting a piece that was temporarily removed while it appeared in a magazine. This is one of my own favorites and for the harsh critic I am of my writing, that is saying something..)
Sweet Autumn
Take me away, sweet autumn! Carry my thoughts upon the whisper Of changing winds... or sing to me, Your dulcet chords of acceptance Fading into melodies of time's passage. Weep with me if you must.. seasons' memories Coursing down cheeks of tomorrow Where forgotten springs will dry our tears. Or simply sit in companionship... ah yes... Come share with me your poetry! Scatter rhyme upon the grounds of summer, Lay a vibrant blanket of crumpled moments Before winter's calling... let us sip Of contentment's wine and pass time together...
lovely, absolutely lovely...surely the Goddess of the Havest was in your pen wihen this was written. I am not at all surprised it is one of your favorites.
I can see why it is one of your favorites...it is beautiful, flows with a wonderful and graceful ambiance...well done!
Blessings & Happy Holidays,
Joyce B.
I am moved to "repost" some of what I said before - Your words took me away when first read, and again, this time. Your poem is one in which the reader is wafted away into Autumn... to be floated out into wonderful winds of prose. Your continued excellent writing makes me very proud of my friend, Myrna!
