R is for Red

“The colour so vivid, so vibrant, like it’s on fire, gorgeous reds all around!” Gun Roswell

Roses are red
And violets are blue
That may be true
But also
The leaves
Of the Autumn
As they heave
Bright red
In the sunlight
Before turning
Well falling
Onto
The ground
How does that sound?

“Mundane Monday, with a view, well, something fun for the day at least to look out for” Gun Roswell

Autumn window view rant

This weeks Mundane Monday, really, started early
But then again, I could not have been less surely
As it seemed, that all the lights had been switched off
Both inside and out, no matter what the clock
Then, I recalled, that it was indeed, that time of the year
When the sun has run away, most likely in fear
Of the upon coming, of the never waited winter season
Well, it seems to be, at least, the best guessed reason
As the darkening of all the above skies, there, hover
For the next few months, and there really is no bother
To consider what the time states on the clock
As it will be twilight, even if you had sunshine managed to stock
So, just hold on to what ever light you can get your hands on
As the utter fight for that ultimate and shining light
Has begun, amongst the Northern tribes, and it’s certainly not fun
As the struggle is real and the people are moving like stunned
Alas the electrical devices, mimicking the daylight shining
Are grabbed and bought, in a state of total whining
Never mind, when you get back home and find
That the lamp you thought, would bring you to shine
Turns out to be either less efficient or worse of all, broken
So, your only hope is to either go back and hope there is one more
Or then, just go back to bed and stay indoors

Until such time of the year, when you look out and leer
Because it’s spring and the sun is switched on again!

Flash Freeze

“I found this, in the morning, frozen” Gun Roswell

Flash Freeze

The rain came yesterday, with a loud ring
Drenched in its path, nature and everything
But that was nothing compared to what happened next
As the night fell, things got really fast and rather perplexed
In one single moment, the temperature dropped
Before anyone could react or stay on top
In a blink of an eye, at least someone did spy
Everything left out there, in the open wide
Got a touch of the “flash freeze” frozen solid in time

“Alone at last” Gun Roswell

Alone

The last of the colours
The last of its kind, remaining until
Gone forever since it’s time

It hang there for a
While, changing its colours with the seasons
Clinging on for dear life

In wind and rain and
Storms, even pouring snow falls but now
It is time to say goodbye

“Fall has descended” Gun Roswell

Black Berries

Buried berries in the bush
Pitch black against the colours of lush
Do not eat, they’re poisonous

Fall Memories

The front porch
Lit up like a torch
In the fall’s late hours
Before the winter showers

Fall Memories

Leaves are turning red
In the flowerbed
But soon the branches
Will them shed
