The scent of autumn...

Nice poem Aqua. The word “treasons” is triggering though. Too soon.
It's already too late. I'm a white male who went to college, and I wrote in hegemonic, racist metre. It could've been an Ode to Yumi Nu and I'd still be screwed.
Please love yourself.

So, you'd be screwed until the
fatlady sings(?)
See, it all works out in the end, it's destiny.
Nice poem though, seriously. -
Speaking of autumn, I was in meetings for a whopping 20 hours last week. What I usually do during this time is turn my video feed off and practice guitar.
But I also wrote this to pass the time, so here you go.
Autumn
A weaker light descends and runs
Beneath the branches of the ones
Who’ve seen a hundred seasons.When summer radiance departs
The leaves escape and drift apart,
Committing minor treasons.@Aqua-Letifer said in The scent of autumn...:

Autumn
A weaker light descends and runs
Beneath the branches of the ones
Who’ve seen a hundred seasons.When summer radiance departs
The leaves escape and drift apart,
Committing minor treasons.You're about two more verses and a chorus away from a Gordon Lightfoot.
I think you've got it in you....
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Except I'm tone-deaf and have lame fingers. But yeah, hard not to love Lightfoot.

All the more reason to keep it at treasons.

Committing minor treasons.Very nice!!! I like it!
(If I may ask, what are you trying to say about minor treasons? I am sure that is a meaning for a bigger statement?)
