DMC: "First storm of autumn" by Jone Rush MacCulloch




First storm of autumn: drenching rain,
leaves tumble down.
Branches
sway.
Morning quiet,
darkness
stays.
Changing season
shortens
days.

  4. I'm beginning to love this form. It's not just the little peek of rhyme, but the rhythm that is so soothing and right. "Changing season, shortens days."

  5. Jone, I missed this one when you posted it. Quite nice. It should go in the Finding Fall Gallery if you say yes. Do you have a pic of the storm?
