The Slow Season

[livnaravul]

Well, I read the topic and felt unimpressed as I am in the middle of a drought in a sweltering hot Spring- it was 37 degrees ( C ) today- argh! But then I thought to myself stuff it, I’m going to tell you all what Autumn is like where I come from, beginning to end: ENJOY!


The Slow Season

Bloated grey hands crawl through the sky
Dark marches in swamping the ground
Sheets of white clang into the air
As the people below scurry and flound

Booming and shuddering shaking the earth
Death comes calling raising his cowl
Winds rip water drenching the air
Car sirens scream and all the dogs howl

Creeping pink light flutters as dawn
Warm breeze melts the thrill of the night
Slow waking up all the lands clean
The sun rises up soft but bright

Light fades to dark, from dark to light
Nothing days and nothing trees
Bland dull colours the flora tired
All that is left the rippling seas

Sand glares white fades to down to cool
The tide pulls up over again
Clearing the life off and away
All that is left the lonely men

Luke warm patters and gentle loss
Soft touches air breathe the life
Strain and wait almost there
Almost left Winter’s wife



A/N: So... obviously not my favourite season- apart from the storms at the very beginning. Ah well- if you're in Autumn now I hope it's nice for you!

Okay, but I didn't get it.

I don't quite understand what you don't get - (lol- bit ironic) but I'll try and fill any confusion you may have:

I've basically interpreted the challenge VERY literally- it's a description of what the Autumn (or Fall) I experience is.

I've addressed the stages it goes through

The first two parts are the storms that are left from Summer which drift into our Autumn.

The third is the break away from the storms- when our Autumn starts to differentiate from Summer.

The fourth and fifth parts express what I see in our Autumns and how the weather and changes make me feel.

The last part is Autumn finally starting to feel Winter creeping in- Winter's wife in my eyes it Autumn which is why I say 'almost left Winter's wife'.

All in all, nothing too fancy.

Hope that clears it all up for you!
