October Poetry Challenge: Day 5 & 6

Trailing Winter

Hurry, hurry,

I whisper to my friend, the sparrow.

 

Gather the last wild asters

dotting the forgotten road toward my tower.

I can see the clumps of bright violet flowers,

cheerful neighbors waving in the wind.

 

Yet, I taste winter and see its whisper-

The gold and silver and bronze of autumn

are dimming every day.

 

So I coax my wee winged friend

to bring me the last reminder of warmer seasons.

The Long Sleep

Snow-flecked wind hits me

as I stare out the window.

The deep cold is here.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! See you tomorrow for day 7 of the October Poetry Challenge. Check out my friend’s latest poem 🙂

  1. “Trailing Winter” is my favorite poem you’ve written so far! This line,

    “Gather the last wild asters

    dotting the forgotten road toward my tower.” is soooo gorgeous!

    And this part:
    “Yet, I taste winter and see its whisper-

    The gold and silver and bronze of autumn

    are dimming every day.”

    Tasting winter and seeing its whisper! Ahhh that is so beautiful. I’m in love with it all.
