Fall

We are worried
About slipping on the leaves
They have fallen
On the ground
Makes us shake 
And feel giddy
The swans bob along
The sky is blue
Fall is here
The water is blue as well 
The buildings bronze
And shining 
We sip tea
Shiver and shake.

  1. How fun! "Shiver and shake". It reminds me of being at Hyde Park in the fall, esp. with the swans.

  2. It’s lovely to read your poem at the dVerse Poets Pub, Jae, and I too worry about slipping on leaves. Our swans have already left, but at least I know they’ll come back again.

  7. Love how we end up sipping tea at the end. As the host at the dVerse pub today, I'm delighted to see you here. However, one of the asks of the prompt is the reminder to have a Tag or a mention that your post is in response to dVerse, and have a link to dVerse. This increases readership for you and of course, leads more folks to dVerse. Please add a mention at the end of your poem that this is in response to dVerse, and add the link.

  8. That last line is so perfectly discomfiting... Excellent, Jae.
