Each time a leaf falls
Another heart shatters
Each time the wind blows
Another break up
But each time a pumpkin is carved
A date is planned
Each time a cider donut is devoured
Another kiss
Another night
Another bit of love
Posted in response to the challenge Autumn '24: Writing.
Silver arms
Reaching up
Delicate
And yet bearing
Weight
A big middle
Rough
Covered in patterned skin
Big enough
That my arms don't
Wrap around
The course outside
Bathing me in a ghoulish glow
Brightening the dark
Staring at me
Barely disturbed
All the way up there
Floating among
The stars
Simply being
Bathing me in a ghoulish glow
I love the moon
Elegant
Lonely
Determined
Exasperated
Sensational
Tough
Damaged

Aw! It's true, autumn winds can be foreboding but the season's festivities sure do bring people together.
