AUTUMN MORNING

this is a slight variation of poem AUTUMN MIST...from WWP ...only using three words from the wordle in red


AUTUMN MORNING

every morning I awake to the ravens chant
as the ochre leaves fall over the garden
plants braided by forget-me-nots and tears
summertime now sleeping inside the pods
old roots hide as they feel the snow coming
orange poppies skirt the wind before dying
half-eaten garlic falls to my hands
I rise to the autumn morning

Actually, I like that you used only three words - few poems I've read have successfully used all twelve... Love this autumn morning scene I get to envision through your words - I'm especially taken with plants braided by forget-me-nots and tears. Really lovely!

Although I liked this the first time around, I actually like the additions quite a bit. Somehow makes it more immediate.

This may be called cheating, Wayne :o) - but those few changes are very good! I like the ravens' chant.
