Dying for Spring(Autumn)

Simple words on a season's change

November days come dull and drear
as summer lost and winter near,
with mist and cloud becoming one
to veil from sight a waning sun.
Whilst on the ground warm pastel hues
are mulched beneath man's boots and shoes,
to rot and meld with mother earth
this season's death then springs rebirth

Author's Note

A quickie on a Sunday morning !

and one day we will rot and meld with Mother Earth, hopefully she will accept us with open arms.
I cannot write this kind of poetry....it is perfect.

Hi Jacob, thank you. I find it difficult to believe you cannot turn your hand to simple rhyming verse :))
Hope you are well

well done sir ... in my opinion :) like love .. the seasons can never have enough said about them in poetry .. you say simple ... simple is good!! i like the rhyming and the flow is quite natural .. smooth .. a satisfying read .. minimalism breeds words and lines that are packed .. nice job says i!

Thanks E. I'm surprised at the number of poems I have penned about the seasons.
Hope you are well

I love this, great images; I just wrote one very similar...getting to that time I guess, though it's still beautiful here, but I know what's coming....
Best, B

[Gee]

Me too my friend. Winter is coming and I need the days of Spring. Hello from Michigan and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

[Gee]

Thank you Coyote. Hope you are well

I am okay dear friend and I hope you are doing well and having some fun. You are welcome.

This nicely rhymed offering seems to be a comment on the life cycle of all living things. November brings colder weather and the death of the summer and early autumn warmth. And yet, while all trace of that warmth is "mulched" and ground into the earth, the seeds of the life that will arise in spring are being planted. Life is a circle, not a straight line.

[Gee]

Thank you JTB

[Dave Brown]

an enjoyable ode
usually we enjoy the colors of autumn but this year it has been nothing but constant rain, that even recalled mirrored reflections can't improve
Glad I don't have to work in it anymore

[Gee]

Cheers Dave.
I've still got a few more years of construction sites in winter

Lovely little piece of visual brevity. Describes so well the changing season. Roll on spring Gee. That's when I am happiest :) Today has been cold and sunny. Yesterday was dull and drear. When it's dull and drear, I just want to hibernate. Hope all is good in MK.

[Gee]

I'm with you Christine. I'm out and about from 07::00 - 16:30 Mon to Fri, traipsing across s****y building sites in all weathers. The first sign of a warming sun gladdens the heart and makes my working life a tad more bearable.
Hope you are all well.
Thank you

What I love the most about this is how there's a rhyme & rhythm that lifts each line in a lilting way. This makes me want to write an autumn poem about rot & decay . . . in a good way . . . I love how old foliage insulates from frost in a mild climate like ours here (((HUGS)))

[Gee]

Hi Margie, have to try a wee bit of rhyming every now and again.
Thanks for dropping in, hope you are well.

You know, I reckon Mother Nature knows a trick or two and would get round to mending things, as soon as we stop mucking it all up.
Half expect black snow by Christmas.
An excellent description og right now, this actual very minute. Brr!

[Gee]

Any snow is shite, yellow snow more shite, and black snow, well, I reckon that would be classed as non pc and it may well fall with a chip in its shoulder( if I dare write that)
Hope you are well Lorry, thanks for dropping in
