Autumns last leaf !!!!!!!

Comes Autumns decaying messenger
to deliver its stories ending

already I feel the touch of winter
starting to demoralise
coldly vanquishing any heart kept memories of summer
that it vainly attempts to retain

underfoot the spring awaiting greenery
begins its subterraneous surrendering to sleep
in protective anticipation

while above this dying season
is preparing to unroll its stage of finality
as the gatherings of starkly limbed trees
look on like dumbfounded skeletal witnesses


glad I was able to keep my promise Frederick. 👍

Thank you Keith for your comment on the poem world of deception. Anti Christ - Dajjal is the biggest test of faith and belief for believers. We need divine help and powers to stand a chance to win.🌷

Hi Flyntland, thanks so much for your comment on 'Young Family In The Sunshine'. I think I imagined a certain naivety/rose-tinted outlook to the narrator of that one - the more cynical part of me knows nothing is as perfect as it seems from the outside and that everything moves in cycles and shifts with time. Thanks for reading. P.S. I have been thoroughly enjoying your work!

Thanks for your comment on Postcard from RAF Oulton, Keith. I really appreciate your thoughtful analysis. It was taken from a display at Blickling in Norfolk. Much of the poem is taken from first hand accounts which I thought were very moving.

I love your poems 'Famous'. All so very true! And a tribute to a very special sounding person. Don't judge me for not knowing who Seamus was before this poem!

Also, the Worlds Cup final poem-very touching. A lot of people will resonate with that poem. I like that it reflects the hardship but also strength endured from that hardship.

Kind regards,
Rasa
