Longing

Amazing how we long for we don't have.  Of course for some people Summer is toooooo hot and Winter toooooo cold. But I agree with you in regard to Autumn and witches.

Summer is the one season that I do not particularly enjoy. But she needs to rage so I get it. But give me Autumn always.
Thanks for stopping in, Viking.

I love well written poems of nature.

Ummm....thank you? Lol I love nature, so it's pretty easy for me to write about. Thanks, abetter!

Summer is too hot for me as well.

It’s me. The photo is about five years old. I think I was 40? Maybe 39.

Aw, thank you ☺️

Dear E,

All praise and hail Autumn! Each stanza has a beautiful image painted within. While I hate to rush time I’m thinking pumpkins then Christmas. Lovely piece. H🌷
PS love the avatar pic!

It’s isn’t even officially Summer yet and I’m already dismayed at 94 degree temps. Like seriously, girl just can’t even wait her turn.

I need cool air and leafy decaying smells. *sigh* I guess it wouldn’t be quite as magical if it were autumn all year long.

Well rendered Eerie...

Completely immersive...

(I am more of a fall person as well...)

Twas hot & humid round here today...

I employed mindfulness & made magic of it, however...

Went moon gazing on the other side of midnight...

Mmm...  Channeling the energies of the universe.

(Your avatar is real cool...  The braids are antennas.

I too wear braids...  At least pre Corona I did... [not a fashion statement]

I been laying low...)

Moon gazing is indeed quite magical. As I’ve told Honoria, I’m already over the hot weather. If it weren’t for my garden I’d swear off summer altogether.

Beautiful  ink .. summer has come to rest her heavy heat upon us .. such is her Nature .. although I don't like to wish time away .. cooler Temps are always appreciated... we pretty much went from Winter to summer making the transition even more difficult.
☀️🌼🌺🌼🌷

It always happens that way though. We never seem to have a proper spring or fall. Although winters have been pretty mild in my neck of the woods, compared to how I remember it as a child.

Hi Eerie,

So so lovely to read.  Your opening  few lines just set the tone for me of
movement. Loved it!!!

Well thank you very much! I’m glad that you liked it :)

Oh, I do love this poem! It expresses so much of the feelings that I have about the autumn likewise. I used to say, back when I was a teenager, that if it could be autumn all year around, perhaps alternating a bit with only the nicest days of spring, then I would be content all year around. Being strongly pagan in my beliefs, the Samhain season always calls to me very intensely, and there is a certain magic to things in the autumn that feels somewhat absent in certain other times of the year. The fall colors always make me feel like I am in a magical world, too, and it is something that for me is not even equaled by the spring blossoms, which are but a close second to autumn's leaves in terms of beauty. Your poem is simply magnificent! I will be certain to read through your others next. Keep up the beautiful work! :D

There is magic in autumn. No doubt about that. Spring usually produces the same for me until about now when the weather is starting to become ridiculous in the heat department. I wasn’t made for summer heat.

It's one of the reasons I why fall is my favorite (the crisp, clear cool air always reminds me of my freshman year in college). Now where I live, summer average is 106, so it's become my least favorite.

That last stanza packs so much, both metaphorically and spiritually.

Great spill

Your poem has inspired me to write a D&D spell. Thank you for the charge.
