If winter is death, surely,
red-slashed autumn is the wound that brought it.
A logical extension of restraints
as colours would have determined
Is it intended that a copper tone is aligned
to reddish hues to beset the season's change
How unkind to view such an outcome
Perhaps unfairly exhorted
by way of colours for winter
will be bathed not in
pure and unstained white
but brown to red
Surely the correlation is tweaked more
towards the impending expectations
of winter's cold and activities curtailed
that it reveals a deathly feeling
Yes, perhaps the feeling is akin
to making the best of situations
not unlike adjusting to the new normal
of the pandemic's inconveniences

Most thought provoking Hank which will remain with me today.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Yvonne.
Some major inconveniences all right!
ReplyDeleteI like to think of the colors of autumn as a prelude to the beauty of winter's snow.
Fall is a blaze with color then the color wanes and all we see is grey. Until, the first white snow blankets the earth. While winter is cold and dreary there is something beautiful in fresh fluffy snow. I think of snow angels and winter blue skies.
