Autumn has turned up
on
my doorstep.
Again !
Drenched, tempestuous, frowned.
Rusted leaves are coiled
in her dripping hair,
a
gray, foggy cape
wrapping her to the ground.
She pierces my soul with
cold, distant eyes.
Her breath smells of
rottenness and rain.
Dejected I bend my head,
then I sigh.
My hopes she forgot
where I lived were in vain.
Ah, this poetry perfectly captures the mood of autumn! Beautiful words and pictures ... thank you for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it, Laura!
DeleteWow, that's beautiful, photo and all. Just tweeted.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like the post. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteAutumn again. I love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a season full of contrasts. The wealth of fruit and vegetables on the one hand, and the rainy, cold weather that sends you into spleen. Thank you for leaving a comment!
DeleteWow, I didn't know you are a poet too! Lovely, Carmen. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am. In fact I started my "writing endeavor"with poems. In the above section works you can find some of those published several years ago. Thank you for visiting, Calisa!
DeleteWhat a beautiful poem. I love autumn. You portray the season so good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity people generally don't read poems anymore. And the theory is that fiction writers should start with writing poems first. Thank you for leaving a comment, Mary!
DeleteThis is so beautiful. I love it and have to share.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, Susan! I would have posted the Romanian version, too, but as my visitors are mostly from abroad I selected only the initial, English version.
DeleteVery cool! Great poem and lovely photos to capture the mood it inspires. A gorgeous tapestry of words and images, Carmen!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mae! Nature and philosophical poems are my favorite.
DeleteHow beautiful, Carmen. You are so talented. I love poetry, especially Yeats and Keats. I once wrote one for October that started "October with her black satin eyes came flashing into autumn." I don't know how your weather is, but we've had a couple of cool mornings here and it's wonderful. http://flossiebentonrogers.com
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely words, Flossie! Your October line sounds very suggestive. Have you published poems too?
DeleteHere the weather is colder than usual at the moment.
I have published poems in the past with FL poets groups, not in years though.
DeleteIt means that we both followed the right theoretical path, from poetry to prose. They say it helps much writing first poetry.
DeleteWhat a beautiful poem, Carmen. Love the pictures, too. I love autumn best of all the seasons, even though it can be a little bittersweet. Believe it or not, I envy you the rain. We're in a severe drought here in California. Our autumn colors are brown and blue: brown, arid hills and bright blue sky.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and your praise words for my poem (blush)!
DeleteI think there are severe changes in the weather all around the world.I would send you some buckets if I could, but. . .
How beautifully written, Carmen.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you, Sandra!
