Falling Away

Falling Away

A Poem by Briana O'Connor
"

The winds are changing

"

Fall, fall, falling away…

Leaves and limbs

Rose petals and shrubbery


Fade, fade, fading away…

Colorful gardens and feathered flocks

Shades of green and edible treats


Blow, blow, blowing away…

Frolicking children and boisterous laughs

Walks in the park and laying beneath stars


Fall, fall, falling away…

Seasons of buoyant recess

And dances of the bohemian


Fade, fade, fading away…

Basking in lambency

Admiring angelic solace


Blow, blow blowing away

Aspiring Scenery

And impeccable cosmos


Fall, fall falling away…

The splendor of dog days

The seasons of Summer

I enjoyed the poem. The words danced and took the reader to the change of season. I liked the repetition. Gave strength to the words. A very good poem for the season. When Summer is gone. Fall shall come and cold days are near. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

loved the stanza about the children and the one following. It brought back my childhood. Loved running through autumn leaves...the chill air.
What a great poem.
