creeps in, a foggy morning
a blur of maple & birch
leaves are falling into heap
weaving colorful & soft bed
do you recall the burning
fires of dawn, or the time we
went bazaar shopping for cheap
clothes, munching on sugar bread
but your face is blank, warning
me that your memories are
sliding into deeper sleep-
this is something we long dread-
in overcoming mourning
you forget - life is now - leap!
Autumn leaves
Posted for dVerse Poets Pub - MTB, hosted by Bjorn Rudberg. The poetry form is a bref double form, with 3 quatrains and a couplet. I have used the rhyme scheme of a-x-b-c for the quatrian and a-b for the couplet. See you at 3pm EST when the pub doors open for more poetry.
