I do not understand, but I seem more able to write poems than journal entries…
The following poem was prompted by the wordle at The Sunday Whirl. The words captured there are in italics. If you need a challenge, please visit that site.
Coming At Nightfall
The brittle rustle
Of amber leaves on the breeze
Can gently charm me
Piercing the crust of my tough
Exterior persona.
An unbearable
Fever may explode within
My mind in Autumn
Before Winter sheaths willows
In a stark blanket of snow.
I work at mending
My beautiful patchwork quilts
So they are ready
For the golden lighted nights
Coming at the year’s ebbing.
October’s evenings
Shimmer with large candlelit
Pumpkins carefully
Carved into jack-o-lanterns
To scare away dark shadows.
I love these twilights
When crispness begins filling
The dusky Fall air
Sending away the burning
Heat of long bright Summer days.
