Hot air swirls up from the south
Iowa harvest of corn in the fields
dancing sweet and buttery in my mouth
Am I ready for it all to end?
Am I ready for the colors to turn
from fresh to fierce
green to gold
clear to copper to crimson
crackle crackle crackle
says the hay beneath my feet;
and the August sun strains to bake
the dry and browning earth
but weakening, daylight waning
Autumn tickling the trees
teasing the sky to dark upon dark
upon dark
I know whether or not I'm ready
Autumn will conquer my soul again
With her stealthy seductive footfalls
and her Samhain-scented embrace.
A selection of quality (and not-so- quality) works from quality (and not-so-quality) people. You decide which is which. An experiment of sorts in my mind and others, this is what you the faithful readers and writers make it. Have fun with it! Write poetry without judgment.

Woman
The last shreds of shadow touch
her feet as she waits by the water
her body a brave Babylon
a savage paradise at sea
Woman
You strive to change history
worlds
You see a day with
copper light
ancient sunshine dreams
myth
peace
wind and passion
life balance
sacred sisterhood
You want love beyond gestures beyond limbo
love always shared
A radical thought
a world unfolding
You inspired a future
