I cry a river, knowing it's useless. My life seems to keep having an #autumnal phase. I keep losing people and hope in literal and metaphorical senses like falling leaves. I quiet my turbulence to be able to maintain a tranquil, vibrant, and colorful facade.

May Freyr brush aside the perplexing duality of summer's fire winds and water laden airs. During this autumnal equinox, I would gladly sacrifice my arthritic right thumb to never again fall victim to the furnace of mid year.

Some folks lament
where summer went,
but I say not at all.
From summer's heights,
#autumnal nights
provide a welcome fall.

Fresh crisp apple air
Bundled in my cosy scarf
Bright autumnal day

An #autumnal breath filled the air,
Soft smoky sunsets settled there;
Streets strewn with scarlet leaves,
Each footfall a hush that weaves,
And twilight wrapped all in coppery flair.

Nora's doctor reviews her blood work results in a reassuring voice, and she nods, mesmerised by the way he says 'cholesterol.' She shouldn't look at his neat beard or smell his shaving cream. She quickly thinks of Bob as she goes outside to face the #autumnal weather.

The #autumnal street is paved in gold,
Where maples tossed confetti of red, brown, and bold;
We sipped cider by blaze,
And hummed softer days' praise,
As twilight tucked rooftops in stories of old.

The #autumnal entry balances the scales. The days become shorter and the cold wind wails. Soon I'm pulling up the collar on a heavy coat. I've got a song for squirrels sticking in my throat. As the world turns orange, copper, and gold, I'm here to see colours unfold.

The hat aisle was full of bold #autumnal colours. "Don't want to stand out," she muttered to herself while checking on the dog through the window. Navigating over to the women's section she searched through the sweaters until she settled on a light grey hoodie. "Perfect." #vss365 #writing

The #autumnal season
is the sunday evening of the year.

Our summer-glazed saturday has gone.
Winter-monday dawning is not yet here.

With #autumnal ache
Rent of august proportion,
Traces vibrated.

Standing in autumnal gold
there to behold
a week or two no less
What larceny is this
In broad daylight
One day no more
The wind whips by
and strips her of her dress
#vss365 #autumnal #poetry

Days lie exposed—
back and bare limbs
catch chill from sun’s repose.
And the #sanguine leaves
arrive with giddy crackling laughs, beady eyes.
Soon they will be let go
to rot on the pathway’s rainbow.
The #autumnal arrow
rests in its quiver;
clear shot, a matter of time and temperature.

Decided
To linger
In my #autumnal
Stage of life

Gone make
My winter death bed
Hunt me down
With combat knife

And should
My death bed catch me
I’m gone put up
Hella’ fight

In short,
I don’t plan
Quiet walk
Into that final night…

Definition: Autumnal refers to things that are suggestive of autumn. Few sights are more beautiful than trees with brilliant foliage—bold reds, yellows, oranges, and browns. The sense that we have changed.
