Written for: Poetic Bloomings2 - Prompt #307 - An Anti-Autumn State of Mind "The season changes to something autumnal and thoughts turn to its colorful palette and cozy temperatures and ya-da, ya-da… Admittedly, Autumn is my favorite season (and mostly for those reasons). But I figure we will change the dynamic here. Think outside the re-usable grocery bag (we ran out of boxes) and write an anti-Autumn poem. Disrespect the colors, demean the smells. Put Halloween in its place. Do not go gentle into that lousy Autumn. Write it!" Who needs those shades of Autumn - too bright, and macabre Halloween causing children fright. The chilly evenings that bring to mind the season of death is not far behind. Jack-O-Lantern's grimace that soon turns to rot, vomiting seeds over haystacks–a blot. Who needs Autumn leaves trampling on graves of those who have passed already engraved. https://poeticbloomings2.wordpress.com/
