Sunlight makes the white
so much brighter, back lighting clouds.
and they look like snow,
yes, smell like it too.
Morning air frosts pumpkins
and golden leaves that linger still.
I walk, stirring those that lie, crunching
them under boot heels.
They fall, but they are not muck
in a gutter, at least not yet.
They remain for a shutter click
then dead in a black and white photo.

Angelineover 10 years agoThere is wonderful movement in the poem from life to photograph and then just a complete stop with that "dead" in the last line. Always a pleasure to read you, Neo. :-)
todski28over 10 years agoa neonurotic poem and I was happy,
great imagery,
They fall, but they are not muck
in a gutter, at least not yet.
They remain for a shutter click
then dead in a black and white photo
a photograph in my mind
