Question: Are you mourning or simply resigned !?


Window screens yet to be removed
filtering out tepid, bashful sun
capturing breezes strolling about
this final afternoon of Indian summer

Twilight chilled, has skipped out early
blushing harvest moon rising weakly
sure signs, October retires tonight
no longer teasing, pleasing my senses

November soon to be boldly striding in
frosty slate grey mantle it’s feature
dreary bone chilling rain the promise
frozen nights with scattered first snow

Here on my porch, I fondly treasure
memories of harvest scents and colors
October’s grandiose hues vividly shown
smiles coaxed, amber full moon light

Brittle dry leaves stirring, tossing about
old man winter awakening, stretching
north wind holding rehearsal in parkas
pine boughs bend in whispery applause

Stars depressed, no camping out tonight
enthusiasm dimmed, icy clouds streaking by
this final night, final batch of tricksters
snatches me from my reverie

Beautifully written,--- I always resign myself!.Every spring I tell myself,come summer I am going to really enjoy it this year!.Then summer comes and I never do half the things I promised myself on those long winter nights!.But winter brings, more reading,more time with friends,holidays parties,lots to look forward to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think a bit of both!.!. Mourning the loss of warmth but resigned to the fact that the cold is coming as my body is telling me loudly and clearly to get with the program or hibernate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think resigned, the writer knows it will come again, so must resign him/herself to the wait!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
