THE MEANING OF AUTUMN


Autumn is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter.
Autumn whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key.

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

1. The zero
That single second
Contains far
Paradise
When past and future scams burn
Frozen party trick

2. The zero
The scream that is mine
Coffee space
Lacks a soul
My empty drowning highway
My pen to glory

Your shadorma poem shows the power of seconds and it adds great values to it, lovely write up.

I really like Zero also, two different shadorma on the same theme Gemma, really great writing

Beachanny said...

Elegant use of the zero to be less than empty and more than a space filler. Well done on the use of shadorma here. Gay
