Autumn Night
A poem reflecting on the beauty of an evening in the fall
Autumn Night
Silver light on the autumn trees
Fills their leaves with ice
While gentle breezes all round
Blow their leaves to the sky
~
Stars paint the blackened night
Stealing the breath of moon
She stays behind the softened clouds
To hide her envious swoon
~
Crickets play their gentle song
The night is their time
And the weeping willow swings her boughs
To join in their rhyme
~
A pair of lovers walk hand in hand
Enjoying their heart's romance
They wish this night would last forever
And their love stay in its trance
~
Another song steals the sky
This no ear can hear
For the moon retreats to horizon's edge
As sun will soon appear
~
Pinks, reds, and blues
Fill the softening sky
Silence is heard all around
As night whispers good bye
~
As fast as the darkness came
It was tucked away by the dawn
Forcing me to wait the morrow
For the night of which I am fond

The Magical World of Audio Dramas
Do you like listening to audio books? Do you like podcasts with multiple speakers and sound effects? What if I told you that there's a whole genre of audio art that merges these two forms together to make amazing masterpieces. They're called "audio dramas" - sometimes also called "radio plays" - and they are the love child of plays, novels, movies, and podcasts merged together.

The Secret to Achieving Your Goals: Don't Tell Anyone
OK... Want to hear a whacky theory that will change the way you view life? Of course you do, that's why you're reading. It’s a simple idea that I’m going to make even more simple by using cartoons, just like a very serious person would do in a Ph.D. paper. Probably.

Lovely! Hello from a fellow Gaiman fan! Good Omens is my favourite 😁
Beautiful ♥️
very beautiful
❤️
Loved your imagery! Cant wait for more :)
Very evocative. In the last line, may I suggest drawn, instead of fond? Nice gentle use of rhyme, which naturally flows. p.s. I love The Graveyard Book too.
Michele ~ Lovely !
Nice imagery. I especially appreciated the idea of painted stars stealing the breath of the moon. Many times have I stood before natural beauty or beautiful art with a heart wonder-filled. Once upon a time, I thought it was an escape. Now I know that I am home, that I was ever escaping INTO reality. Thank you for sharing!
So beautiful! Great job!
Lovely poem and very Cinematographic. Excellent.
Really lovely
Absolutely beautiful. Love the choice of words.
Describes the autumn days and nights. My favorite season.
