When Autumn Prowls Poem by Seamus O' Brian

When Autumn Prowls



There at the eroding edge of summer
Autumn prowls
An unexpected chill
Hiding in the shadows
Of a twisted rooted elm.
A leaf jettisoned
Before I am ready
Pages of my calendar
Falling,
Leaves
Falling,
People whose breathing,
Living, being have
Intersected the meaning
Of my breathing, living,
Being
Are falling
Like pages
Like leaves
Like life
When autum prowls

You really have a talent. Loved these lines: An unexpected chill Hiding in the shadows Of a twisted rooted elm. A leaf jettisoned Before I am ready... For 'eroding', perhaps some other word?
