Autumn II

An annual poem for my favorite season.

Summer’s curse has thus hardened my soul

To the conceptions lovely Spring had bestowed

I long for Autumn’s calm wind and idle thought

Untainted by reality and the dull of this world

 

As the leaves begin to fall

My paper heart strings are set

Doors to my lost world reopened

I am queen again

My people rejoice at my return

I am happy again

 

Winter fell,

And I finally thawed.

I love Autumn. The cool nights are very nice. I like the story in your poem. Good to welcome the new seasons. That is one reason I ended up in Michigan. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

I love autumn but I hate winter so for me it is bittersweet. I am a warmer weather kind of person but you have done this poem beautifully with the changing of the seasons throughout.
