Renga Bring In Autumn

Summer's sun was lost
resting inside the Spring poem
drift into Autumn
Autumn's colors have arrive
spring forth browns, yellows and orange

Straight up writes Barbara
I like how spring waits in thought
through winter and fall
I like your choice of earth tones
for a fall's pallette~thank you

When night comes swiftly
as the reign of day shortens
in Autumn's embrace
Witness the trees shed their leaves
preparing for winter's coming

The mighty Oak sleeps
Fruit and leaves scattered abroad
Bared winters garnish
I will hug its stark beauty
Wonder if it dreams as l

lying bent, broken
from natures worst gone up-coast
by magnetic force
we cling to remaining roots
praying the earth shall hold tight

I have a good voice!
nothing bashful or obnoxious
I just know what I myself have
that is good...So writing is
like careful oration!
Man about town or Man of La Mancha
the mayor...pile on their fun and
dislike...I can carry it for public
speaking....And of course I
love the voice of others too..
taking one too know one...
we are a people of oral tradition
everyone when Ill or tired or
resting but not want too be alone
loves the voice..soothing
spooky...daring tales
humor tales..
mysterious tales
delightful ditties

I do accents too..
not perfect like my
friends...
story telling...
before we had
that television thing
or hand held hypnotic
devices...

thank U Barbara!

Ive read tons of books...had the time growing up..mid wealthy families
some dont get that..working for their dads....or have to leave home
or foster home or run away and work work work to survive or hustle..
no reading...but I had time...and we were taught to read well and much
by the time we were ten..Comix..british fortnite books...Tin Tin..Bible with
the dramatic color plates..Fairy Tales...Crime books...Music books..
But not smart enough to learn music...But I read....it was cool..
Im reading the Maze Runner series of books..my line sounds like
the self talk or the "voice"..in the book the boy talks with the girl
also from the maze..both survivors..and others...but he hears her
voice...like self talk or the voice of someone urging the main character
...I got a suggestion to include an active female in my poems then
just the passive focus...more then action..This makes me imagine
it more....I greatly like the collaboration here Barbara
Thank U
Mr Wolf!
