Even in the quietest moments
there is something to be heard
as the autumn colds arrive
filling you with memories
of the last long cold winter
The trees are all bare
there is a feel of death all around
the ground covered with leaves
like a patchwork comforter
inviting you to cover up in the cold
The seasons come and go
and it seems more quickly every year
it seems that happens with age
the days turn into months and years
and the memories like these remain

Very good
This is a very good poem, the years do shorten the seasons, it seems you don't get into one when it is over and another is starting.

Once again, I'm right there with you brother. My sentiments exactly! As the trees shed their leaves we're shedding our hair and sometimes our flaky withered skin!
Hehehheh lol
Rather than looking in the mirror, I always prefer basking in the memory of splendored yout!h
Good luck in the contest.
