Love Of Autumn Poem by Mark R Slaughter

Love Of Autumn



Autumn calls -
Her whistling song
Of yellow

Dies in sorrow-red;

Morrow greys
Upon the blue.

We bend into Her breeze,
Hide sienna-summer skin
To shiver in our coats,
Ghosting ‘til the spring.

Yet we kiss Her warm,
Then rise to greet the winter;

And in the ice
Recall Her blush,
The manic leaves.
