Autumn of Defeat
How peculiar the dawn, blemished with its preternatural blue,
Of a parallel world, a cause and effect, for everything we do.
How many here's until we get to there's?
Or these days just to anywhere.
The big tree, was afflicted with a melancholic wavering,
That summer was just a flamboyant fling.
The leaves will bleed colors of fire.
Before the tree chooses to retire.
But first a chaos of soul tantalizing color competes.
The summer green of yesterday becomes a decaying obsolete.
The belief that the good lasts forever.
In the grand autumn of defeat.
Of a parallel world, a cause and effect, for everything we do.
How many here's until we get to there's?
Or these days just to anywhere.
The big tree, was afflicted with a melancholic wavering,
That summer was just a flamboyant fling.
The leaves will bleed colors of fire.
Before the tree chooses to retire.
But first a chaos of soul tantalizing color competes.
The summer green of yesterday becomes a decaying obsolete.
The belief that the good lasts forever.
In the grand autumn of defeat.

Autumn won't defeat you, it's just the beginning! Can't wait for more of your Autumnal writes... even if I have to! ;-)

Hello you! I guess I think of leaves descending as being defeated in this poem. I do go pretty wild writing about the changing & falling leaves. Then it's on to skeletal trees. 😊
Enjoy your weekend

Makes perfect sense. This reminds me, I was in Kew (botanical) Gardens in London a few years back now, with my daughter & we were trying to catch the leaves as they fell. We were a good 5 minutes trying to do that but we just couldn't. They fell from a great height & evaded us at the last second! We got very angry. It was like trying to catch a fly!

This is quite emotional, visual, metaphorical, expressive. I'm impressed with your drive on display here. You have a very concrete core of conviction, and I can just see it amassing with every new post. Switching up the format was pretty fresh. It really makes for a clean representation. Also, your ideas are concise and organized, in this format. Some deep inquisition and disposition in what you convey is present here. Like some grand harvest, beckoning for a purpose, found in the sadness of the loss of life and/or love. The definitive association of vocabulary is solid too, building up to each particular reference of metaphor. Individual, original, unique to you. Anyway, these are some of the things I picked up on. Hope this helps - thanks for sharing!

Thank you ever so much for such a detailed critique. I cannot see the poem from your perspective. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. It is utterly so cool.
Have a peaceful night

Hi!! Thx so much for reading.
The leaves are defeated to autumn as sometimes a deep belief stands in defeat.
Renewal of the earth will come and for our own spirits.
I love hearing from you!!!! ❤️
