Teaching Myself Winter

October ends its métier
Impression painted limbs
Bathed in bisque of moon glow night
Warm, wet dreams day whims

Cohorts of caned and able seats
Rock gently cottage hymns
Upon a teak wood cushioned chair
In pastel scent of good time trims

Another stage was set in time
Dawn flames a hearth of stone
Against the sudden fall to earth
Of winter’s chilling tone

October ends its grand remand
Attending guests wind blown
Remembering a round in turn
Preparing limbs bemoan

The tears of solitude approach
Though lightly is their weight
A snowflake’s sigh again to lie
Upon love waiting late

So many well crafted, deep lines...and you saved my favorites for last:

"A snowflake’s sigh again to lie
Upon love waiting late"

Not so sure of the
A snowflake’s sigh again to lie
Upon love waiting late
Snow round these parts isn’t a blessing as it is to you Northerners
But I could sit in a rocker, cushioned, and watch the trees turn, then shed.

Now let me see, which stanza should I quote as my favourite?!?

After due consideration, I chose the following:

"October ends its grand remand
Attending guests wind blown
Remembering a round in turn
Preparing limbs bemoan"

~ Yeppers! That be it!

May your spirits rise, this fall!

Loving hug,
Linda
