Stirring winds and gentle breezes,
Cloudy shadows and reddening skies.
A slight chill tickles your spine,
Cold temperatures causing sore eyes.
Covid feels distant yet still it transmits,
Businesses plan Christmas parties.
Halloween looms with its tricks and its treats,
I’d be quite happy with Smarties.
People forget all the things they had learned,
Mix closely and stir up the issue,
While hospitals struggle and nurses work hard,
I hear someone sneezing ‘A-Tissue!’
Look after each other as Autumn prevails,
Show that you care, with respect.
Try to be sensible, enjoying the season,
Let Autumn be what you expect.
Nice poem, Jamie!

Beautifully written poem Jamie! Perfect for this time of year.
Thank you. Kind words. I can’t wait till winter!
Hi Jamie,
Well written and well observed. I do worry about the ‘people forget’ and ‘try to be sensible’ aspects – if things are left to the general public to apply common sense then, frankly, we’re screwed!
Agreed. Thanks for reading.
This was such an amazing poem Jamie! I love fall and can’t agree more on the message of respecting each other x
Aww glad you enjoyed it.
I love your poetry and your choice of images too. Really great!
Thank you.
Love the poem and use of language. It flows beautifully! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
