Bright Autumn [Free Verse]

Photograph of a cemetery on a beautiful day in the Fall, taken in New Orleans, Louisiana.
I want a bright Autumn --
brisk & clear.

I want a colorful Fall,
not one in which cold gray
blanches all brilliant shades.

I want a windy Autumn:
full of movement that
swirls & lifts anything
that's light enough.

I want an Autumn that
draws people outside,
not one that pens them.

I don't mind a bite of cold
as long as I can see white
clouds float through blue skies.

beautiful menace.

sitting on a small leaf,
not blending -- at all.

and send shimmers of light
