I have been inspired for a while to mix my watercolor paintings with my writing. So I gave it a try! I’m someone who looks forward to the cooler weather and I love all things fall. The end of summer is one of my favorites times. Both poems today are centered around this transitioning time period, where the days get shorter and cooler, leaves paint the sky in crimson and orange, and rain taps the window while you drink hot cocoa. I hope you enjoy my painted poem!
Jumping on a trampoline in late summer
On a cool night where the crickets chirp
Under the long strands of field grass.
Reaching for the stars with our hands, as we lay
Down on the slick polyester
And tell ghost stories until we are too tired,
Nodding off under the soft moonlight.
Fall Days
Putting on a scarf and hat, I wrap myself
Until I am snug and warm. I take my
Mug outside with me on my walk,
Placing each foot in front of the other.
Keeping the trees on my right, I follow the path
Into the forest, listening to the soft whistles of the wrens
Nearby, thinking of the jack-o-lantern I will carve later.
