Autumn




the season of melancholia
and mist is a distant memory

autumn girl was beautiful
but her russets and browns
were not my palette

when autumn leaves drift
by my window it is only in
a karaoke rendition

i no longer need to accompany
Persephone back to the underworld
for her gloomy sojourn

the greek gods are not happy

    Ah, I am glad Persephone took her journey on her own....unaccompanied! And that gloom was averted. Smiles!

    I take it that you live somewhere wonderfully warm! Good for you! The karoake Persophone is very clever - the Greek Gods are certainly not happy. k.
