The smoke dances out of the grill
Waltzing into the charcoal colored sky
Decorated with diamonds that are forever glistening until the sun rises.
The trees form a choir, their soft whispers can be heard from afar.
Humming quietly as they sway side to side.
The leaves leap off of the shaggy branches and
Lie gently on the crystal colored water
That occasionally stops by to say hello
When the deciduous trees drop their orange and yellow coats
Allowing the subglacial lake to be seen beyond the auburn fence that we all tried to climb over when we were younger .
The sound of rusty trampoline springs singing and children laughing fills the silence
That once left us deep in thought
The scent of red velvet fills the air as the moon hides behind the porcelain colored clouds and the fireflies greet us from the last of the emerald colored bushes.
The purple and pink balloons put up a good fight as the wind pushes them harshly into each other every once and a while
But when the sun peaks over the bare maple trees
the silence returns and
the party ends but the last piece of cake awaits you in the morning
Waiting to be eaten and remembered until next year.
Dear Angie :
I am amused by your poem, “From Fall To Winter,” because the words said in the poem make me feel like I’m actually there. It also feels nostalgic.
One set of lines that stands out for me is, “The smoke dances out of the grill, Waltzing into the charcoal-colored sky’
Decorated with diamonds that are forever glistening until the sun rises”. I think these lines are amusing because I remember going to barbeques at the park and staying there until sundown.
Another line that stands out for me is, “The scent of red velvet fills the air as the moon hides behind the porcelain colored clouds and the fireflies greet us from the last of the emerald-colored bushes.
”. I think this line fascinating because it shows the beauty of nature and our planet.
Your poem reminds me of the song “flaming hot Cheetos” that I once heard. It’s a really good song. The melody gives me a vibe of nature. The vibe of that song makes me feel good and think about life.
Thanks for your poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next.
