Wet leaves,
milkweed seed,
painted blooms
honey mead,
fragrance of fall,
floating like Chagall.

Notes: A little ditty for an autumn day. The Marc Chagall, Autumn in the Village, is available as a poster on the AllPosters site. Happy Poetry Friday! Nearly Happy Birthday and thanks to Laura Purdie Salas at Writing the World for Kids for hosting. She has a wonderful poem on her page today. Sadly, I can’t seem to comment anymore. My WP connection seems broken.
So much wonderment in your poem, I love it, thanks Brenda–and wonderful how you wove in the “fragrance of fall” with Chagall! I still intend on sending you the milkweed too, it’s been sitting on my counter drying out… (ps for Laura’s site did you try logging out of WP and using something else like FB, I do this and then it works.)

I don’t use FB for logging into things because I’m worried about connecting too many platforms together. Security is so awful. It was great while it worked…

Brenda, this is wonderful! So much packed into so few words, with lovely imagery and sounds, too. Thank you–and I’m sorry you’re not able to comment on my blog anymore! I don’t find any comments from you awaiting moderation or in my spam folder. Will it not even let you WRITE a comment? So frustrating. Thanks for the kind words, though!

I can’t even write a comment. I can only get into my dashboard, so I can only do what I can from there. So frustrating. No idea what to do about it. I hope your birthday was lovely.

How are you I am your grandmother
I am your choice
I am your choice .. choose
Between death on my chest
Or on my books
Choose love or love
So do not choose
There is no middle ground
Between paradise and fire
Throw your papers in full and I will be happy with any decision
Emotional
Explosion
Do not look like a screw
I could never stay
Like a rainbow under rain
Exhausted Ante .. And scared
And very long .. my career
Gusi in the sea .. or Avdidi
No sea of dizziness
Love .. a big face
Sailing against the current
The sound and repentance and tears and the departure between the satellites
Your wife kills me
They dress from behind a curtain
I do not believe in love
Does not carry the bleeding of the rebels
Do not hit like a hurricane
Do not break all fences
Oh, if your love swallows me
Hurts me like a hurricane
I will choose you
Between death on my chest
Or on my books
There is no middle area
Between Paradise and Hell
