Autumn was my first love.October, I follow you -
from the magic lights of New York
to moonshines in Georgia,
until the colors dissolve.
The anxious poetry of autumn
made a memory of me.

Here’s to things I take for granted:
September blues,
chasing airplanes,
country road thunderstorms.
Unspoken words, unwritten ideas.

October, I follow you;
I thought I saw you on the shore
where the river runs through gold
on the last boat leaving the city of a hundred spires -
or perhaps Pittsburgh
(it was the lights I guess).

Here’s to the things we leave behind:
sunbeams in November,
letters addressed to no one,
poems, wounds, dead birds.

I’ve got that summ

New HeartLurking deep in the night,
Moon casts a shadow bright.
Shines on the owl in flight,
Radiates peace tonight.

Remains till a new day,
With love here to soon stay.
This joy not to decay,
Melody starts to play.

Pretty until the end,
All of these rules to bend.
His love to each one send,
And a hope to here lend.

Creates a work of art,
That begins from the start.
Each color does a part,
To design this new heart.

A Forgotten MemoryShe was one of many
Not the only one to be exact
She put a smile on her face
But nobody knew it was all an act
Her body was filled with bruises and scars
She couldn't tell anyone because
She knew they'd hurt her more
She'd cry herself to sleep at night
Hoping no one would ever see her sight

Until one day
A person found out
Her parents did too and
They'd scream and shout
The person who found out told her
'Hold on, stay strong'
But that just caused her
To think more negative thoughts
She hated everything about herself
Her body, her complexion, her hair
But her parents still didn't give any care

One day, she had enough
Everything was just gett

Wonderful image and poem Dawn.

Thank you so much, dear Candace. I appreciate you always.

Wow, cool poem. Thrilling shot, too!

~one-dryad Oct 1, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

Thank you so much for both. I am so glad they speak to you, Sean. I have always appreciated your encouragement with regard to my poetry from the beginning of our friendship. Without you and many of my kind friends here, I doubt they would have made it to either paper or this site. Poetry, I'm learning, is always worth transcending our fears.

wishing you a lovely week.

You too. By the way, I know it's a little late, but I like the addition to your avatar.

Really!?! Oh, friends like you, with comments like that, seem to be turning my life into a continual birthday party...truly, I am honored and floored for you to feel that way, Sean.
