Stabbed by the Autumn Leaves

Stabbed by the Autumn Leaves

A Poem by Thomas W Case
"

Here's a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur5pZxbd7hE

"
Jack-o-lantern love,
stabbed by the autumn leaves;
bleeding all burnt orange and sienna.
And it smells like
cloves and vanilla,
and loneliness. Kaleidoscope confusion,
that dog bite pain
in my soul.
I don my navy-blue corduroy,
as I bundle up for
the great void.
