It is that awkward time of year again,
hopeful
sad
just a tad ironic,
too warm
to feed a roaring hearth,
too cool
for perfect gin and tonic.

I listened,
to full Harvest Moon melting memories in first deep Autumn sky
while I,
in my old worn out kit
lounged,
waiting,
left to die,
or sleep,
whichever came ‘round first,
hoping
for either before Full Moon thirst
drove me mad with itch of blood's desire.

We have opposite reactions to this season. But thank you for letting me feel it from your point of view. Great write!

Perfect in its melancholy and ... timeless passion!

What a wonderful piece, Icebox. I loved the visuals you used to describe the feeling of limbo that Fall can often bring on. Very much enjoyed.

Best wishes,

I feel an overpowering sadness when I read this that only a very well written poem could bring forth, Mr. Ice.
