Into the Dusk
geese stitch
the falling dusk
to leaves of quilts
summer birds craft
sweet clear sounds
of southbound song
pressing into cooling air
she hums refrain...the
melody of Persephone

This brings out the melancholy longing which each fall brings; hearing the geese fly overhead. Lovely.
such a lovely poem, it is full of the spirit of the season.
Very nice poem, Tumblewords :-)))
so beautiful and melodic..it just rolls off of the tongue
This is wonderful. From the beginning verse to the end.
As elegant as the geese flying south...
Lovely. :-)
Ooh... Persephone would like. ;)
"The melody of Persephone." Wonderful read, this. So many images in so few words. I love it!
leaves of quilts and the geese...being a quilter this stood right out....lovely..bkm
"geese stitch
the falling dusk"
Thank goodness I read these lovely words twice! First time I read 'geese stitch the falling duck'! Funny image. Sorry, still laughing at my own stupidity!
lovely!!

"Southbound song", really got me...lovely imagery...
The sounds of southbound song... Excellent.
Beautiful words...nice poem!
"..geese stitch
the falling dusk.." Stunning line.
Made much more sense after I learned Persephone was the goddess of the harvest! :)
Beautiful images of fall!
marvellous images, I am trying to get right deep down into them, to see what you are seeing.
that's what poetry does to me.
I love "sweet clear sounds of southbound song"!
Beautiful.

A lovely piece.
Loved the first para, especially.
Together, it tells a story.
how peaceful a magpie...i like the persephone reference....
Your poem sounds so soothing and comforting. Such calming words!
A true magpie tale. Delightful. I am late responding but that's because I have been traveling!
This is waiting to be sung...I am humming those words...
Nice Magpie...:)
Mystical and full of magic!
beautiful poem - describes Autumn perfectly
I quilted long ago and your first words made me want to reach for fabric and begin piecing it together--you captured the feeling of fall which I have always seen as a beginning--great magpie!
I can hear the "sweet clear sounds" of the "melody of Persephone"
Lovely lyrical, autumn calling the birds last song before going south,
simply divine...

I don't know how you do it every single time but you do. The geese stitching. I can't get over how good that is. Magnificent!
I'm too french to know what a Persephone is, but I like the sound of it. And I loved "the falling dusk to leaves of quilts"
Very nice!
Oh -- this is near and dear to my heart. I love the movement into Persephone. Beautiful.
