Autumn series poetry The first

The Autumnal fever

Wow,Autumn once again is here
what a lovely season
for all poets so dear

what a beautiful autumn
you relay
here it’s raining,
then a bit cloudy
sunnier later
during the day

the clouds show anger
but quietly pass away
wonderful trees
leaves,
so colorfully display
my! what hues
I wish I could show you

wait

I’ll fetch my camera
for you

Breath

Submitted by raj on Sat, 2018-10-13 16:24

I was walking in a glade
lost in the gentle sound of water
cascading over the terrain
bare feet caressed by silt
a remainder of what once was rock
I knew history leaves a mark of which I would be a part
stepping out I touched a tree fallen to the ground
made me wonder if anyone had heard the sound
I stepped in the water again
it wasn't the same
neither was my breath

Scent

Submitted by gregwa8 on Thu, 2018-10-11 20:59

sometimes I feel
like an abandoned
hatchling
that God is too afraid
to touch

for fear he’ll leave his scent
and the other birds
will shun me
and I’ll die
an outcast

sometimes I feel
like God became
a man
with my very scent
just to
save me

but do I have
the nose
the acumen
to follow his
scent trail?

man & divine?
body

& sensible spirit?
