-i-
Dahlias stand upright against Autumn skies
long after the sunflowers have fallen;
Flowers have turned to fruits,
empty spaces grow in the garden.
-ii-
Flowered teapots speak of happy days,
sit pretty in the cupboards
waiting for the day
steeped in friendship and reminiscence.
-iii-
Voiceless faces roam the wilderness
drowning in words, seeking truth
heavy hearts seek solace in a drifting leaf
their shadows disappear in the mist
-iv-
weary feet trace the path of meditation
beneath the weight of silence
they go in circles
seeking answers to unknown questions
-v-
My heart blooms pink on this October morn
awash with blush in the horizon
The sun rises -
even when the night seemed endless.
Here’s hoping that this piece meets the bar with Dverse’s Poets’ Cadralor poetry form prompt.

All five😊
Beautiful.
A wonderful poem for October. Really like how you painted the scene of autumn and the feelings that may unfold. Sounds like you are staying hopeful and optimistic this season – like how you mentioned ‘the sun rises even when the night seems endless’. Hope you are doing well, Imelda. I missed reading your poetry and lovely to see you have been posting again 🙂
Good to read you Imelda. Love how you set the autumn mood with the opening stanza. This is a season of deep reflections on life as well.
This is quite lovely ~~~~
Delightful autumn poetry, Imelda. Love your accompanying images.
Such beautiful imagery, and the last stanza is exquisite!
I love how you brought in the morning here… even October has its silver linings.
Beautiful poem
What lovely imagery and sentiments throughout, I adore this whole poem! I love the line:
“heavy hearts seek solace in a drifting leaf.”
