The Godforsaken Atmosphere When Autumn Falls

Rating: 5.0


The decaying leaves decamp from the flamboyant trees regrettably
And a virtuous traveler heard an old crow crowed on an isolated lamp post.
'Hey! Brother are you in a dilemma? '
The wanderer is familiar with the bird's dialect and he replies;
'Thank you dear, it's a pleasure to hear that someone call me as brother after a long time. Yes, it's really difficult to survive here without a job and I have already applied for a Gravedigger in a countryside.
But they query about my pedigree not qualifications.'
'Please do not worry chum, you add my details in your resume again as reference and the burial grounds would prefer definitely.' The old crow sighed.

due to a mine-blast.'Now I can see the people rather than earlier.'

You use irony to great dramatic and comedic effect in this cautionary tale about life and employment and the changing seasons. Autumn is indeed the time of letting go and your crow carries wit and wisdom in his beak. Another fine poem from your fertile pen. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Very touching. I have always felt that crows are very wise and know the secret of survival. Wishing you a brighter tomorrow. And may autumn be kind to you. Warm regards, Sandra
