I try my hand at poetry from time to time. I wanted to add this to my blog because fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. It has a poignant beauty...all nostalgic and such! Enjoy!
Fall is Nearing
Fall is Nearing
Fall is nearing,
thus my heart is in deepest thought
Gone is whimsical summer
and all the joys it has wrought.
The lush green will be on it's deathbed
And the fireflys will escape away
The languor of the hammock's creak
Will succumb to the approaching days.
The darkness of night swells with length
And the shadows become more intense
The brisk air whispers a foreboding tale
Of a season that holds no pretense.
Sprightly summer days must go,
Their cruel escort is the Autumn wind
And upon my deep introspection
Lies a reality buried within
Fall is nearing,
and my heart sinks with the thought
That I shoud fail to glean
from the lessons I'll be taught.
