October Poems

Somewhere there are poems, archived,
sure, true, and lost
among the leaves and bare trees
scattered with winds that blow from angles
and here am I, searching for bones.

October has become a new month
a birth occurred, a love everlasting;
yet, it brings to me November,
soon enough, sharing birth/death
and commemorations loving

but don’t dig a new hole yet…
just grasp a new hold, if you will.

The sun will wane soon; winter will gift
solstice summaries and cinquains will
tempt snow; soon enough, redbirds
will reign against white and become
ever vibrant against gray boards
singed with ice.

October poems….gifts on the wind
which gust among the compass and flit
which way and that…

then circle, circle, and fall;
upon my porch, they lay.

I could take a broom, and scoop them up;
or I could crunch them beneath my foot,
stepping out into some daily grind;

but I stop.  And stoop.

And choose a new word, to begin, again,

a tomorrow’s poem, for October,
or beyond.

"scattered with winds that blow from angles

Quite brilliant. Quietly brilliant. Brilliantly quiet?
All of those things.
I love the gentle beauty in your words.

Hi, Sunshine.

That is a vivid and magical write.  I can see the poor little poems all wind-blown into a corner of your porch, waiting to be rescued.

Quick!  Grab them before they blow away completely!  We need the beauty to bolster us as winter is a comin'...

I'm gonna build me a porche too, because mine always seem lost forever.

You always amaze me in your writings my friend, as you amaze me reading that beautiful book you wrote. I'm half way, taking my time to let it all seep in. WOW what a story! Just beautiful.

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow
