Autumn Girl

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)





Your hair is filled with the scent


of snowflakes and wind,

even in summer.


I keep telling you

But you don’t see

How beautiful you are.


Sometimes, like the other night

On the outdoor patio,

You laugh and you’re eighteen.


I know because I met you then,

In the fall,

When you outshone all the colors.


But now I wish you could see

The autumn tones

You paint inside me.

Nice and beautiful photos

So clean and powerful. I was reminded in the first line about when I tried to express the scent that you'll just never forget. I think I talked about "...her walking in front of me and trying to catch the scent that could never be bottled." Reading your work makes me want to write again. Thank you for that @johnjgeddes.

Very fascinating look - beauty!

Sometimes a quick spark of excitement can bring in you the root and fruit of loyalty to properly adore and love someone. This I definitely felt. It was cut very cleanly. John, I highly encourage you to continue your craft. Keep sharing fellow.

It's so true... sometimes in a laugh or a smile we can see a person transported back to a younger time. ❤
