A meadow of goldenrod has come undone beneath the sun leaning into the autumn wind. The arbor through the garden weighs heavy with the floral scent of lavender and sage. Growing wild behind an abandoned wine cellar rows of grapevines have been cut back to accommodate the change of season. Over the hill an old oak tree holds her ground where an eagles nest lies in wait anticipating winters frost. Crab apples have fallen freely and strawberry fields have flourished The summer has born her fruit like sweet cream lingers between the folds of a garden bed. The leaves on the trees are falling standing still among the willows and rosewoods. And there is always something there to remind me after the earth had been turned silent in the night. |

Bluesy - your thoughts are of a fading autumn, which brings winters cold. But too be warm until a blanket in front of the fireplace is sweet. Vivid pictures I see when I read this writing... BC |

This is a neat poem. I miss poems about the simple things. Paul I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really. |

It's safe to say, the seasons inspire me, and go round and round... which gives me hope and makes me feel greatful. Thanks for stopping by, Metal Man~ |

"rows of grapevines have been cut back to accommodate the change of season." That's life, isn't it Bluesy? So many things get cut back if not pulled out to make way for change. If only we could know in advance though like we do when it comes to seasons. We're going into summer here now but I still enjoyed your poem very much. Love Helen |

Those of you who read me have encouraged me so much over the years. I don't think I can fully express what your kindness means to me. Your sensitive and compassionate replies touch me time and again. It has been an honor to share these blue pages with you, and I thank you always for the gift of your poetic friendships. Warm hugs~ |

a most wonderful 'change of seasons' write! "A meadow of goldenrod has come undone beneath the sun leaning into the autumn wind." ... grand-fine imagery throughout! most serious and long-sustained applause for this 'penning' !! |

Dear Lori you have written a beautiful word picture about my favourite season of the year, Autumn. A time of near perfect weather and all the magnificent colours of the leaves that are a highlight to everyone who enjoys nature at its finest. Your poem was a delight to read. Loved it and you.
