Pre-emptive aches, a hollow chest
as autumn reappears
and darkened foliage front and rear
lay down the robin's nest.
As blurry sights approaching near
(the end of all things wild)
returns invasive yet so mild
an unexpected fear.
Attentive like a frightened child
who ventures in the snow,
an ever-incoherent low
destroys an all-time high.
Gradually fades the summer glow
into a sombre sound,
when angels gather all around
and bagpipes cease to blow.
Relentless in an inward bound
reflection, shoots a dart
a silent smile is the rejection
that annihilates the heart.

Welcome
I am trying to enjoy all of the seasons, but I agree, I miss the 70 degree dry weather. Grin and bear it for now. I liked your poem.
nice poem I hope to see more, welcome to the noodle factory! ww
WELCOME FRANCESCO ~ Thanks for a very haunting first poem. I'm from the UK and the skirl o' the pipes always makes my hair stand on end ! We do hear the pipes more in the Summer but they burst into life at Hogmanay and to pipe in the Haggis on Burns Evening in January and they do always summon (awaken) the ANGELS ! ~
Thanks again please check my POEMS ~ BRIAN
Thank you Brian for your warm welcome. I am happy to be here and look forward to reading and sharing more.
Such colourful language could have made this a challenging poem if you hadn't so seemlessly pieced it together! I love taking the journey through the seasons with you, and such an appropriate time of year as well. Well done; I look forward to more of your work xx
Thank you for your kind words. 🙂 x
Wow his has an awesome rhyme scheme and I loved the exotic autumnal part, since we only have summers and rainy here wherei live now. The poem has a classical touch to it which I always admire. Kudos.
