Autumn days

Some words.

                                                               Autumn days

The Summer days were splendor,

long days, beach days, easy day.

The harmony of warm days and being sun-kissed.

Blessed days.

Now the nights are cooler,

the school bells are calling the grandchildren.

I have quiet days to reflex on the coming days of Autumn.

I love the charm of the Fall.

The September change of color,

fresh Michigan corn and apple picking with the grandchildren.

I roam alone to lake St. Clair and I burn some sage for my world.

I tell the moving lake,

please allow my world to know peace.

Please allow the cooler days,

to make the hate in my world turn to softness.

The negative words to hopeful words.

Was  a hard Summer for the grandchildren.

No fairs or carnivals.

We had many beach days and we were thankful for Lake St. Clair near.

The days of Autumn are here,

restless grandchildren need the days of Halloween and

interaction with other children.

Time for us to gather our minds,

make the right decisions and make our world wonderful again.

The Autumn days go quickly and I hope before the days of winter.

We have gain our sanity and we can forgive each other.

Time to befriend  people and lead with concern, kindness and love.

For the sake of all the children in our world.

We must get along.

Coyote

Yes, we must get along. These are the "Days of Awe" in the Jewish religion. The days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These are the days we ask for forgiveness for wrong doing and grant forgiveness to those who have wronged us. The last six months have been hard not just for children, but for senior citizens and everyone in between too. May we soon see a return to normalcy. Your words are true and well written. Lydi**

Thank you dear Lydia. Poor children need a school, not a computer. A hard world for them.

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Your words are so true. We have to be kind to each other, and maybe as the weather cools off maybe we will too. Poems like yours make me more and more excited about the holidays, as little as we'll be able to do. But the holidays have always been about family, and those who are lucky still have that. Your words are beautiful and I hope you stay safe during these times!

[Sami Khalil]

Your message is loud and clear. We need to get along, tolerate each other and bring peace and harmony. We need to appreciate the seasons in nature and in our lives. Children are affected the most. They are losing their past times and fun. Excellent poetry and message sir.

[Coyote Poetry]

Hello Sami and I agree. Time for our world to slow down. Lead with concern, love and kindness. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. I do agree. You are welcome sir.

It's been a hot headed summer Coyote. Like you I hope the cooler days reduce the temperatures of trouble makers. Let there be more peace and consideration for each other in really difficult times. Yes the grandchildren have suffered as a result of the virus. Their freedom has been restricted and they have missed their friends. Hoping for better times ahead dear poet.

I have visited this one before, but it was well worth coming back a second time.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Chris. I hope the world become better. I am tire of the crying people. We need people to fix our world. Not destroy her.

[Chris Shaw]

I hear you and agree with you.

[Coyote Poetry]

[Neville]

You just took me somewhere that took my breath away .. not only the scenery described but the deep and heart-warming sentiments contained within and selflessly shared .... far more than just words :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Neville. I appreciate the comment. The days of Summer. Our best days.

[Neville]

my pleasure entirely ..

The warmth of Summer fades to Fall and the forest is alive with color, I love it.
Summer's torch a tad dimmer awaiting Winter's Kiss. Ahh, Winter's Kiss I think I hear a poem in that. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Winter kiss, could be a cold one? Thank you dear Cherrie for reading and the comment.

since I am unforgivably arrogant, I never give a review of something I love with simple words and phrases. It cheapens whatever hint the poet had of humanity and raises suspicion of the bravery they scarcely dared to portray. But for this poem I can only say, I love it. It is pure. it is beautiful...dana

[Coyote Poetry]

I am praying for calmness dear friend. I worry for my world. I hope the people in Washington can pass the coronaviras relief bill. Many will need help everywhere. The lousy leaders went on Summer break without passing the bill. I hope everyone is watching both parties and vote new leaders in. Hello my friend and thank you for reading.

[Chris Shaw]

Wonderful sentiment here Coyote. I wish for my grandchildren what you do. We have had months of turmoil. I have never known a year so much where I would like to see it finished. Where children can play again with friends, where neighbours get along and all thoughts of hate are coated with a thick layer of peace. Always so good reading you.

Chris

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too dear Chris. Been a hard year. I hope we finish okay. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[augustus]

You write 'just words'. But it's how you use them that counts. In your case they fit perfectly.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend for reading and I appreciate the comment.

Your words are the finest example of how to be in our present world, John. We seem to be fenced rather than free to wander as we would have before... the Now.
Your lovely thoughts and words create such gentle reminders about this season's various moods and, how like the forever seasons, it'll return one day.. in patient time.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Emma for reading and the comment. I hope the cooler days bring calmness and peace my friend.

Needed to edit my review, John.. was far too wordy, typical of me.. hope you find it similar but more natural.
