Autumn (a short poem)

~ Charlie Hasler

I see the days of shorter light cupping the orange of blanket noon,

Across the humming hills of yesterday,

And the trees of the acorn dune.

 

The crackled flame flickered a phoenix,

A phoenix of blooming ruby glows,

Ash bowed out the summer, as autumn winged and rose.

 

A change is carried now on the ever cooling breeze,

Life begins to wilt and wallow,

Slips the clinging fingers of summer, now falls her widowed leafs.

My name is Charlie Hasler, I live in North Wales with my fiancé. I work at Law firm based in Chester and write in my spare time. My writing started a few years ago but was something I always put down more than I picked up. After a tough couple of years I felt I had some things I needed to say so I have found myself writing again. My writing mainly focuses around poetry. I have self published two poetry books, which are both available on Amazon, Words From An Unlikely Poet, and, Words From An Unlikely Poet: Volume 2: Further Thoughts. Aside from writing I also enjoy walking, reading, gardening and boxing, though I am more a spectator now days.
