_Leaves curled tight within clear pools _
_Summer’s glow leaves scarlet mark _
_Fades as coolness hardens bark _
_Dons a winter coat on mules _
_Farmers harvest rusting tools _
_Sun bows slowly into dark _
_Sings the last song does the lark _
_Cold breathes death in frailing fools _
__
_Moon shine brighter, wax each night _
_Sun bleeds last its golden light _
_Wind indues a harsh clean bite _

Working to make a living
Leaving you in the past
Every time I leave this town
It’s like a breath of fresh air
The only downside is you
Living a movie
Where you aren’t a part of the highlight reel
Live vicariously theough me
May not be enough
I wish it want like this
I wish I could do better
I wish you could see the things I’ve seen
Experience the world as me
I wish I could see the world through ...
Leaves falling fast
Summer's gone, we must dash
Bring your friends and hide your stash
Set a'drift and hoist your mast
Winter's nigh, the fire's cast
Snow is falling in a flash
Teeth of wolves begin to gnash
Halloween's begun at last
Fairies, globlins gather near
Its time to fill these woods with fear
Twisting, whisling, dancing rain
Thunder fills the woods with pain
Witches, its time to cast ...
**Three quarters have gone of a year. **
**Leaves are falling all around. **
**The sound of acorns hitting the ground. **
**It is a time of year we hold dear. **
**The holidays are near. **
**Cheers, that familiar sound. **
**Watching the football being tossed around. **
**The atmosphere shifts when the Nightingales appear. **
**Crickets are calling, and the leaves are crunching. **
**Smelling woo...
Autumn has come around once again
Red, orange, yellow and brown
Leaves falling all around
Coating the terrain
Every year the sweet smell of pumpkin spice
How it fills me with joy
To know that soon Halloween will soon deploy
And my soul will rejoice
All year I wait patiently for this day
When the nights grow long and weary
I feel my mood becomes more cheery
With a fire place lit and gentle rain

As Autumn’s breath whispers through golden leaves,
Bamboo trees stand cloaked in gowns of red and gold,
Beautiful Summer’s heat and green now tales of old,
As nature’s hand this yearly canvas weaves.
A harvest moon in silent night achieves,
But a glow that speaks of stories yet untold,
Bold winds through the empty fields unfold,
A song of change that every heart perceives.
Yet with this beauty co...
In courts of thorns where shadows softly creep,
Amidst the whispers of the fae's unrest,
There walks a fox, by trials sorely pressed,
Yet kindness blooms where others sow deceit.
Through shattered bonds and loves forever lost,
He bears the scars of battles fiercely fought,
Yet in his heart, compassion's flame is caught,
A beacon in the darkness, tempest-tossed.
Betrayed, his eye a testament to p...
True, the nights draw in.
But sometimes morning light
catches the ground just right
and we say the fall will soon begin
It’s sad, the days are shorter
As optimists we should
look out for something good
Like herons, watching by the water
If leaves begin to fall
and shadows on the wall
Offer shade to all that isn’t browning
What evening defines
The winter underlines
And skating never really feel...
In autumn's beauty, colors fall in leaves,
The trees ablaze with reds and golds so fair
Tranquility resides in crisp cool air,
Swirling winds whisper secrets to the trees.
Hughes of russet paint falling leaves like fire,
Cascading like confetti from above.
Natures canvas is painted with such love,
A site the eyes and heart can both admire.
The sun sets early, casting golden light
Gentle reminde...
A young lady's heart is a precious thing
To give it away, she must be sure
That the man who holds it is worth her love
And will treat her with love and pure.
For in this world, there are many men
But not all are worthy of her time
So she must know what qualities to seek
In a young man, who will be sublime.
First and foremost, he must be kind
To all creatures, great and small
For a gentle heart i...
