Autumn Sheds Its Brilliant Tears

November 5, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Autumn.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A calendar poem about how autumn feeds life with its dead leaves while it feeds death by removing the shelter of foliage:

Autumn sheds its brilliant tears,
Undone by darkness, wind, and cold,
Then turns the tears to leafmeal so
Ultimately trees can grow.
Meanwhile, in naked wood and wold,
None can hide as winter nears.
