Autumn Rhythm Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Autumn Rhythm

Rating: 5.0


That deserted autumn after you died,
I took a walk to the bank
It was warm, but predicting rain
I was becoming wet with perspiration
As my black clothes were soaked with my perfume
Leaving me a chill while I was coming home
But those doughnuts that I bought on the way
Were oh so delicious
I ate them all in one sitting
For my mind craving something sweet
Then, it started to rain, but I didn't care
Watching the leaves fall as I walked home
And when I go there, I drifted into a dream
Until the next day
Hungover with a sugar-coated buzz
