 |  More poems for Promptly Poetry, stuffed into this book because I have reached my limit. |
| The tired leaves are dull and worn Their colors faded, edges torn. Gone is the tender green of spring Yet to their branches they do cling. Stiff August breathed no mercy, but September grieves, From summer’s grace are they fallen, the tired leaves. The naked trees, once so well-dressed Now stand exposed in their distress, Callused hands, grey, bare-fisted, Crooked fingers in prayer twisted. These doleful supplications must nature appease, For in bridal lace, winter drapes the naked trees. Written for "Promptly Poetry Challenge (2024-2025)"  Week 3 The Wrapped Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of 2 or more stanzas of 6 lines each; Meter: 8,8,8,8,12,12 and Rhyme Scheme: a,a,b,b,c,c. Refrain rule: In each stanza, the first 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) in the first line must be the last 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) at the end of the last line. |
