Sorry for the delay, the Olympics distracted me from this, then I forgot. Liberdon submitted the only entry, so she is by default our Poet Laureate! Read her submission below:
Title: Turning of Fall
The orange sun grows longer, as I wonder and wander ‘round Time well-spent in an endless haze, watching green grass turn to ground
The torn leaves fall down, down, down… twisting and twirling and leaping Dancing to nature’s melody —as I hum too in keeping
Brilliant golds swim in rays and mix with shades of sangria While umbers underlie the sight, forming a mute aria
The leaf piles crunch, crunch, crunch as I crush them beneath my heels I pause briefly and strain to hear what the soft silence reveals
Goosebumps rise along my arms as a murder flies overhead Their haunting calls echo downward— reminding me what was bled
I smile to myself then even as I lose all my nerve For I know that I’m not alone, —we don’t get what we deserve—
Why did God make four seasons?— if we’re not meant to live them through? Is there a winter in heaven? , or is spring eternal true?
I don’t have the answers yet, but someday, I’ll ask face-to-face For now, it is enough to know —He is with me in this race
The first snow drifts down slowly, bringing with it a bitter chill ‘Till, at last, it’s winter proper …and my worn body grows still.
