October Country

The lighter days of October with armies and graves for sure.

October Country

Gentle comes the army close at hand

Marching cold to October’s home

Footfalls over tomb stoned graves

Etched out in memory with names

Souls encapsulated for the ages drop

Flowers grow in red and yellow bright

On the green, grass covers Spring deities

Trees would love to dance with madness

But someone stole their feet

It is the sun that comes to save the day

It is the blue of sky and ocean’s eye

Once opened to the clarity of life

Can only die once you turn out the light

Your writing feels topsy-turvy in a playful way, almost as if you mix it up to show a tumble of leaves in the way you spill your words (((HUGS)))

Thank you so much Barleygirl for your visit to my site and for your nice comments. Words, like leaves, should be stirred up a bit don't you think? I appreciate yours. Have a wonderful day. Take care, Earl

Beautiful poetry for the month of October Earl. Quite captivated I am by your poetic turn of phrase. Absolutely love stanza two. We have a dull October day today, much grey around. Hoping for a brighter afternoon and some colour. Take good care of yourself Earl. All good wishes winging across the pond.

Hi Chris, Thank you so much for your kind words. I tried to respond to you yesterday but I could not sign in to Writers Cafe. I promise that I will find the time to read more of your works. You are a raw and legitimate talent deserving of more popular attention. Have a wonderful sunny day when you can. I know the weather there can be terrible or as the Brits would say, "Atrocious." Take care, Earl
