I caught the Autumn like a wicked cold
The morning breeze, like a contagious sneeze
Blew through the city, time came to a halt
To watch the dance of everlasting leaves
Here live the poets, in the passion of September
Here they are born and here they shall remain
And so shall I, as long as I’m remembered
And once forgotten, I’ll resurrect again

I fell in love and kept on falling

This painted a picture of auburn and gold, with just enough of a chill to make it authentic. Very well done ...

I do apologise, I have been informed that I should read this by ICQ and having read it would like to say I’m sorry I missed it. I have read it four times (in order that I understand and appreciate it fully) and found it very professional and pronoun, in fact I found it your best by far.
Please, Please, write more of this ilk!

Thanks Nochtdrace and Caroline!

UK Hero, I'm glad you liked it! The idea for this one came from a quote of a great poet. Pushkin once wrote:

"I will not wholy die, my soul in sacred lyre
Will outlive my dust and will escape decay
And in the moonlit sphere my glory will not tire
As long as poets still remain"

I'm fascinated with the idea that classic poets could remain alive through us and come back to us just like the season of fall.
