Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Slipping
The scent of earth after a gentle rain
Memories washed in shades of autumn’s gold
Tempers the black grief, relieves the harsh pain
Seasons changing leaves once brilliant yet cold
Painting hushed shadows as evening’s sun falls
Soft chittering of birds high in the trees
A torn heart recalls the last plaintive call
Now slipping from life a pained soul is free

Interweaving death with season’s changing captures so much of the anguish, and at the same time acceptance of a “pained soul’s” departure.

Nice Iambic pentameter example, images of wet, dark slippery leaves, the epitome of fall.
