Barbed and brittle, branches reach

Clawing their way, from the ground

Forgotten, against a wall of stone

No flowers will bloom, no life around

He left them to die, for no reason at all

The only feeling for him, now, is scorn

This human one, who cares not for them

For him, they have blossomed in thorns

This is my entry for KaylaAnn’s End of Summer Poetry Contest.  I hope you enjoy  🙂  Info for the contest can be found HERE


The fire burned, ever so slowly
We watched, as flames grew high

Each stick thrown into the pile
Seemed to let out a hideous cry

As the fiery mass engulfed it
Soon turned it to soot and ash

Then a chill in the air sent a shiver
A reminder, that summer had passed

Sadly, she was making her exit
All we had were memories to pack

Autumn made herself be known
Now, all we could do was look back

To the warmth of the sunlit days
And oh, how the nights did sizzle

Cooler breezes now come this way
As we watched the firelight fizzle

I set sail in the night, I’ve traveled for years

Beneath starlit skies, under amethyst tears

Gently falling, from clouds, into the sea

I watch them, slowly, gather round me

And circle about, this mist, in the dark

Creating a wondrous, beautiful spark

Casting their glow, how my boat shines with them

Like the crown of a queen, Heaven’s own diadem
