in an Epistle poem.
Verdant Autumn Round Prompt


I sit in creaking wicker chair
and bid farewell to summer heat.
Crimson clouds shout tomorrow's fare
as daylight begins its retreat.

A skeleton of bare twigs leaves
its stamp upon the autumn sky.
When season shifts through darkened eves,
I greet the change with mournful sigh.

Eventide rolls across the land
and lays its chill across my soul--
an emptiness I had not planned
when you were here to make me whole.
