Poem -
Autumn's Movement
The wings of old autumn have a flux
And their hesitation an old ornate orange-ness
And the wind in their wake
A brusk-ness
Like the scent of old ocean rot
And each new day, opaquely tan colors move
And float down from a ballet above
Disguised
As earthen doves riding on thermals
That circle the season
With a love reminiscent
Of,
The essential nature
And timing
Of rust
As it, most delicately,
Decays
Into morning's, icy, dew drops,
That glisten
Ever so shyly
As the shimmer,
Of winter's,
Emergence...

I felt like I could close my eyes and be whisked forward into the beauty of autumn and was surrounded by it...autumn is my favorite season and what I love to do is drive up into the mountains and get to where I can see all the changing colors of the leaves...it's quite beautiful and the crisp smell and slight chill makes me happy. Great write as always :) Pinned and all stars!

T... Oh this is wonderful...such vivid imagery! The fading autumn is like fading passion. Once so hot...so red with desire...then...subtly...a soft wind...the leaves begin to pale to brown and crack and shatter against the window pane as the wind has become insistent...a whisper of chill in the air...and your eyes must remember before the snow blinds the earth.

Hi Tony, great write, filled with powerful imagery/// the beauty of autumn yet everything is dying// the leaves are falling, colours changing, swaying and forth falling gracefully to the ground like a ballet dancer swaying her arms and beautiful body movements.

Hello Tony...
To answer your question the best I can...
I'm on a Ranch in the country in the high mountains...
There's a lot of metal here and the ground can get real slick with ice under the snow so your reflex tells you try to grab hold of something and I don't always wear gloves because sometimes, gloves doesn't work all the time when you try to do something...
When metal gets real cold you can stick to it and it hurts...
I didn't mean to confuse you...
Hugz and Smiles!
Love and Rockets!

WOW!! ~ I had no idea FEATHERS!!...... that's crazy!!.....I don't think I'd like to go through that every winter!!.....I Love to ski (I can't anymore) so that's the most cold weather I like to endure!!..... but getting your hand frozen stuck to metal!!...OUCH!!!.....anyway, STAY WARM girlfriend...... and remember your gloves!!...... Hugs-n-Smiles!!.....T xo ?☀✴✳♥
