Early one morning

Red foliage knocked on my door

Welcome to autumn

Home is in his arms

It is where I long to live

My love lives in sleep

Renounced was I for the grave

Love lives beyond the tomb

    I love the first image, and the second one tells a story of its own. Thanks, Vashti. 🙂

      This may be weird but I have a thing for cemetery statues. Some are so beautiful and stirring. 🙂

    Ahhhhhh, autumn and love. As for me, I can’t wait to get to Canada in November and have myself a pumpkin spice latte. Hahaha.
    Hope you are well Vashti. Please have a lovely weekend.
    🙂 ❤

        Well, we’re preparing for a possible hurricane impact here in south Florida. Where I live there’s a Hurricane Warning, so hustling to get things done.

        It’s over the bahamas now. We’re bracing for impact on Thursday. We’ll be okay. We’re preparing.

    Very striking cemetary statues seem to have inspired your haiku Vashti. 🙂

        I’m afraid I’m more of a storywriter than a poet! But thanks for the offer, and I might have a go at it next week.

        I thought the same thing about myself. I still think I’m more of a storyteller/writer than I am a poet. It’s still a fun thing to do. Go for it. 😉

        Thanks! You’re right, writing poetry is entertaining – I could try it again sometime, just for fun.

    Your image of autumn (red foliage) knocking at the door is brilliant Vashti, and beautiful. Was it carrying a suitcase of wool sweaters, courduroy skirts, and suede boots?! 😀

    Two distinctive poems Vashti…red leaves knocking at the door :)) The flowing stone carvings are beautiful and your poem, poignant.

      A friend recently lost her husband (the love of her life). I was thinking of her when I wrote the second poem. I’m sure I didn’t even reach the surface of her pain and I wasn’t trying to (impossible) but those statues really touched me. Thank you!
