Fall Foliage
Fall is in the Air
Air that is abundant with Childhood memories
Memories that bring back thoughts of Apple bobbing
Apples that fell from my Grandfathers Ochard trees
Tree's where me and my Brother climbed
Climbed up a rock hill were I fell while my brother laughed
Laughter that stopped when he passed
Passed to a better place a place where Heaven is always Fall
Fall where my Grandmother would trip over the old linoleum floor in her kitchen
Kitchen where she would make my favorite Blackberry cobbler each Thanksgiving Dinner
Dinner where all my family were Happy and Cheerful
Cheerful despite the the pain and suffering we experienced being poor
Poor wearing Bread sacks over my shoes to protect my feet from the Snow
Snow that made my life hard while I feed the Cattle while it brightened my spirit by it's beauty
Beauty my Mother baking Aapple pies while weeping that my father's love was gone
Gone but not lost is my memories of Fall and Love
Love of my family and loved ones that have passed
Passed is summer and Fall brings back wonderful memories of Love
Love that I give to all that I encounter
Encountering a fall filled with love
What do you think of my Poem, I ask this in the religious section because I appreciate your thoughts?
It's wonderful and very evocative; it made me cry. Excellent and right from your heart. You paint pictures with your words. You should be very proud. Thank you for sharing.
Reply:If this is your first poem you must continue with it; you have a real flair and talent for emotions and pictures through your words; you have the ability to touch people and that is a rare gift. Report It
Reply:Now that is something I love. I have read some pretty weird and ridiculous things before so it is lovely to read something special - full of personal experiences and happy memories. You should read it out loud to your family at thanksgiving.
Well done.
Reply:I am from apple and snow country. And I grew up doing farm work. My family was poor. Iid the bread sack thing, but I ended up with freezing feet, in my old worn sneakers. Welso had alot of hills, rocks and all that. Were we neighbors?
Reply:looking forward to the holidays ,are we?!
Reply:I have to be honest after all you did post this in the religious section.Well hear goes it didn't really flow in the best way,but i have to say i could feel the emotion.I think that putting your feelings in writing is good therapy.By the way i was raised in a place similar to the place in your poem.I now live in the middle east in a desert so i really miss both Autumn and winter along with many memories of a time i took for granted.I don't think your poem will win an award but if it makes you feel good that's reward enough.
