If Autumn Were a Person

Wisps of long brown hair

escaping a orange knit hat

Honey brown eyes

Surrounded by black-rimmed glasses

Heart-shaped lips

Lightly covered in lip gloss

Cream sweater

Under a green puffy jacket

Black jeans

Tall socks

With orange, cream, brown, and black stripes

Brown boots

Worn-in and loved

The scent of leaves

Lingers like a perfume

Each breath

A gust of wind

Each step

The rustling of the trees

Each tear

A reminder that winter is on its way

Each smile

The joy children feel

Jumping in leaf piles

Throwing leaves in the air

Hiking through the woods

Each tree its own rainbow

If Autumn were a person

I would love to meet her

  • Type of Love

    Love is an open door?

    All you need is love?

    Love story?

    I know that feeling

    A bit differently

    Not quite what the song was intended for

    But I know of love

    That opens doors

    The love that is

  • Dear New York City

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    That makes me love it so much

    Maybe it’s the buildings

    That stretch towards the sky

    Forever reaching upwards

  • Field of Roses

    Have you ever seen dozens of roses?

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
