Autumn Gleanings #1
October’s Last Love Song
The autumn sun sinks
color of leaves into skin.
The wind plucks sweet notes
from golden branches and
strums stalks of reeds whose
shaggy heads sway to the sound.
The melancholy romance
of October’s last song
is carried on currents
into depths of blue and
caught on ragged edges
of behemoth clouds that
travel to other places.
I cannot remain here
and I cannot depart;
I am wound in tendrils
of intense infatuation.

Congratulations on your appointment to poet laureate. You’ll be great!
Hi Byran,
Thank you for your kind and gracious congratulations. I know you were also being considered for the poet laureate position. In addition, you have been actively presenting poetry in Amesbury. I want to support and promote your efforts. The reading you have organized for November 19th is great. I will attend and I will send out a notice about the reading. I know both Chris Warner and Tony Toledo.
With appreciation,
Lainie
