Fall poems, poetry about autumn or fall, the season marking the transition from summer to winter. Nature poems about fall, when the leaves fall from the trees.
Frosty Autumn Leaves
In our minds your memory burns bright
Gone too soon, laid to rest, eternally
The autumn leaves and frost
Decorate your absence
Memories of happiness
Memories of love
Long, winding roads led you home
Led us on different paths
Tangled like branches
Lost in the sound of silence
Your memory lives on in the autumn leaves and frost
Silence
You live on
Gone too soon, laid to rest, eternally
The autumn leaves and frost
Decorate your absence
Memories of happiness
Memories of love
Long, winding roads led you home
Led us on different paths
Tangled like branches
Lost in the sound of silence
Your memory lives on in the autumn leaves and frost
Silence
You live on

Of Leaves and Other Debris
Along the path of amber hue
Where leaves like whispers fall
The trees stand bare against the blue
So stark, so still, so tall
The air hangs thick with earthy scents
As shadows start to creep
The brittle ground, where branches bent
Lies bound in autumn’s sleep
The rustling leaves, a mournful sound
Lie scattered, torn, and shed
Their colors bright, now fallen down
A carpet for the dead
In quiet steps, I tread alone
Beneath the fading light
Where every tree and branch and stone
Seems haunted by the...

beautifully dying days
pale pearl grey of haze
shifting across a slowly lightening sky
revealing what is concealed...briefly
before settling restlessly
upon reluctant dawn
mind slips into the shadows
studying symbology
as untethered foliage drifts
dying bits of memory
brilliant hues of last gasp
before decay takes its place
becoming nutrients
for rebirth
& upcoming tomorrows
fertilizing hopes
how like reality it seems
when summer days fade
time slips away
bursting with desperate exuberance ...

Not Autumn
The night air
Has lost its flair
It’s autumn
But it’s not awesome
The airs not cold
The sun is very bold in fact
The leaves have fallen
Yet it doesn’t feel like autumn
Has lost its flair
It’s autumn
But it’s not awesome
The airs not cold
The sun is very bold in fact
The leaves have fallen
Yet it doesn’t feel like autumn

Floating
in their golden cloud
autumn leaves await the chill
green domes refulgent

Return
The choppy pewter gray lake,
is a view that causes mistakes to vacate.
Life wasn't meant to hesitate.
I seek the tall black bark elder trees.
They hold the knowledge of the free.
The foliage is vanishing fast,
the soil hungers for leaves.
Lemon and rust color
lingers to please.
The beauty of autumn paints the soul.
As winter is greedy to unleash it's cold.
Whispers of return, the barren limbs are told.

Hope I Don’t Fall Before Time Runs Out On Me
Hope I don’t fall before time runs out on me
Medicare problem of the elder society
Take a step and hope that you don’t fall
Down the steps of misery of being old
Brittle bones and grey hairs give up your charade of being young
Maybe some Metamucil will cure you
Or if it comes to it Brighto from 3 stooges
Will set you straight firm your constitution
But time keeps ticking looking to drop down the shade of us
My head feels young in me
Brain firing on all cylinders
Try and learn something new to keep
The synapses...

Curtain Call
Shakespeare was right 'all the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players'.
It's no wonder then that as I age I'm no longer the star of the show.Still on the stage but only just. Consigned to the background as an act of kindness.Audiences once held spellbound by my skill and vigour, now lean back in their seats with jaws wide open.
As I forget my lines and the makeup artists can no longer conceal the sagging blotchy skin, the thinning hair or the droopy eyes.They gasp as one as I move Biden like across the stage.Fearful I might stumble,fall and shatter bones...

The Still
The stream was cast a
severe steel blue.
Notions of heaven
feel true.
Behold the long smooth cascade
of waterfall.
The euphoric fluid showering
down my inner walls.
The surround was populated
by burnt orange and lemon leaves.
My spirit adopts a stature of peace.
Deemed a startling secret place.
Feel the still of the human race
severe steel blue.
Notions of heaven
feel true.
Behold the long smooth cascade
of waterfall.
The euphoric fluid showering
down my inner walls.
The surround was populated
by burnt orange and lemon leaves.
My spirit adopts a stature of peace.
Deemed a startling secret place.
Feel the still of the human race

Autumn Ecstasy
The surface of the stream possessed
an alien green glow.
From the reflection of vanishing trees
that anticipate snow.
Water cascading over slate rock
with a natural rush of glorious sound.
The water, a liquid ecstasy
free falling unbound.
The stream was in an
encompassing bliss.
To even find beauty
in the bold leaf carcass's.
