With Gentle Strokes She Paints
By Don Iannone
Fall hints
of her coming,
touching the leaves
with gentle strokes of color,
not unlike the painter
who starts out shy,
not knowing exactly where
her heart will carry the brush.
The masterpiece is complete, only when
her heart is full from giving.
One of the things about fall that I love is the colored leaves. Wonderful!

ReplyDeleteIts amazing how poetry brushes more emotion ...the music that comes with poetic melody
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful melody of transition. That transition time in between summer and fall. You have captured it brilliantly, as you always do with your words of magic.
ReplyDeleteBlessings of peace and love to you, Don.
I love Fall and I love the way that you painted it.
