The Fall – Poem

Fall manifests cool images of decay.

Renewal only takes us so far to death.

Winter has the coattails 

Following behind a slight breeze

Into a gust that shepherds Grim.

Fall.

Yellow – cowardly, sick, mental.

Furthermore – happy, positive, youthful.

Red – anger, war, blood.

Moreover – life, health, love.

Orange – abrasive, crass, polarizing.

Further – joy, warmth, enthusiasm.

Brown – lonely, sad, isolated.

More – resilience, security, solid.

Fall.

Colors filtering to moods and passions.

Grim has mood and passions.

Winter’s cold bite stops for no one

Falling into the soul of everyman.

The yellows, reds, oranges, and browns

Succumb to the first turns before the last.

Proving the time marches on

Like a resilient soldier knowing death lurks.

Fires of oranges, red, and yellows 

Falling about the earth.
