Autumnal Confetti

A seasons change.

A seasons end celebration,
Autumnal confetti abounds,
covering the damp and the frosty,
a warm quilt sewn over the ground.

Flowers they bow to the cooling,
slowly all colour is gone,
whilst birds take flight for the winter,
the air bereft of their song.

The warmth of the sun but a memory,
as it sits, low slung in the sky,
"farewell, I'll miss you this winter"
my heart it says with a sigh.

Author's Note

Just a quick one to stop the pen from healing up.....writing for writings sake.

Couldn't agree with you more Gee. The seasons change not only on the outside, but change us too, gradually warning us that the holiday is over and it is time to get ready for the years end and prepare for our winter dance of many layers and many more grumbles. :)

[Gee]

Indeed, and I cant be doing with the cold. Cheers

Your rhyming flows so effortlessly, the poem lacks not an ounce of charm.
This my favourite season. Not too, not too cold, not too wet. Just right.

[Gee]

I'm a spring man myself, not liking the cold I know warmer weather is not to far off. Thank you

Brilliant work, Gee. Very poetic and just a beautiful ode to Autumn. Well Done.

[Gee]

Cheers,very kind.

You are such an gifted writer, you put down feelings of longing and memory with seemingly effortless ease. The description of Fall, and the onset of winter, one which would see the 'dethronement' of the Sun, is sensitively described.

Good job as always,

Best,
M.

P.S. I was wondering if there should be an apostrophe 's' after season in the first line, I maybe wrong.

[Gee]

I will look into that,thank you for such kind words.

Yes, to miss is so true for me of those colors and peaceful times that you convey through this poem of yours!

[Gee]

Thanks for reading Josie

Loved the images of Autumn Confetti and warm quilts on the ground. Winter won' t seem so harsh after those comforting descriptions.

Thank you....

Without the darkness and the cold we are supposedly unable to appreciate the warmth and the brightness but that's a crock. Then again look at those who live in perma-sun - like in La-la land. Too much of a good thing can make us a bit mental.

Keep writing Gee for feck's sake not writing's sake mo chara. :D
Stay Lucky...

Gooooooooooood morning Anti.Hope you are well matey and all is ok on the Emerald isle.Haven't really had the inclination recently plus I also started writing stuff that I thought others wanted,(which is totally not me,what a prick !!!!!!)Will get the festive out of the way and see what 2016 brings.If I don't cross paths with you before then hope you and yours have a great one,and your still my number one buddy by a long,long stretch on here.Take care of yourself

Hey Gee...nothing wrong with trying to better ourselves mate by adopting 'some things' from those we look up to. One of my counsellors swore by the 'fake it til you make it' idiom and I can see the merit in that but at the end of the day we are who we are. We have our own style called our style because it is our style. Our own style doesnt have to be set in stone either though mate.

As Charlie Chan used to say - you are my No.1 son.
Have a good one - may love and luck shine on you and yours mate.
