A Thread scrawled in Timely Autumn

User Rating:

8.0 /10
(5 votes)



  I watch thousands of leaves drift underneath trees,
while in a tree I sat observing
timely autumn air fetching birds –
to gather above the vegetation high up in the blue
birds rise and utter messages
as timely autumn descends on our…?
On our befallen part globe.

To hear the beauty of innocence across
the damp fall ground;
vibrating, that autumn is
going to flee away and…?
And in comes the disturbing winter breeze –
bring out a smile gloating out
on the stricken faces.

Nations fall dead from autumn exhaustion.
Oh timely autumn has come to soon –
to bear a reason of befallen:
sleeping illnesses
on our old earth.
Red, brown, orange, yell a glow
Buried in leaves is our part globe.
And stricken faces
of shadows
flee away into the nest of warmth
as worrying winter breeze crawls
in, regretfully not,
but gleefully.
Swirling around, sneaking in?
In ajar windows.

Oh season is it time
for timely autumn colour to leave
our autumn colour world into
winter darkness?
Not welcomingly the
winter nips at my thin nose
as I watch above
high in this forlorn tree
with no leaves! But what?
Empty branches of crystal snow.

Celine Berghmans

Celine as I know you are in a tree watching, I can feel all this amazing imagery through your eyes.
What can I say! I can say, like Susan Bagley comments, you are very gifted and need to believe it.
I loved - yell a glow . Stunning poetry! 10 Karin Anderson

ARe you sure you were born in 1990? Is that date on your page your birthday?
How can one your age have such wisdom and insight? You are prodigy.
You are gifted, in the truest compliment I can offer.
Your work is amazing and I expect great great things from you.
This is a most amazing write and I am envious of your exceptional insight and way with words.
It was my pleaure to read your work.

i know you're bare
to sunlight
as your leaves scatters
blown to unknown flight
but you stood there
as snow falls everywhere
and deep inside you
warmness of life
trying to survive.

thanks. md. beautiful poems ofyours.

The reader is able to imagine what the writer depicts in the words you have written. I really enjoyed the read and I thought it was a excellent piece of work.

excellent piece: credible but uncommon insight. would like you to skim down the language, talk more in the vernacular. Overall, you nicked the sublime. best care, sjg

i have no words to
describe this intense
and highly philosophical poem,

this deals with life
and life beyond it,
thanx, ,
