I’m like the Midwest weather forecast. I’m stuck in summer. I hate the dead of winter. It rains in the spring. Overall, fall is the ******* worst. It’s autumn's curse. All I see are dead leaves, falling to the floor. Piled in the corners, they’re sticking to my rake. It’s kind of overwhelming. I really cannot focus, when all these leaves are here. I wish I could switch gears, to get rid of all this fear. The leaves they're flying instead of falling. I guess this is the part that's beautiful, the magical somewhere in between. Perhaps falling isn't the ******* worst. It’s that special time between the winter and autumn, when it’s sometimes snowing, and there’s no sunshine to come leaking through. The clouds are thick at this time.
I wrote five short poems over the course of the months April 2015 to February 2016. This is what I put together in chronological order.
