Prompt 84: Descent


Thanks to Sue of Sunflower Roots for this week's prompt, descent. Here are her beautiful poem and photo.

Autumn=Fall=Descent

angle of sun

creeps slowly towards

the horizon,

afternoons shorten,

shadows lengthen

cross lawns,

first one leaf

then another

flutter gently,

spiraling earthward,

evening chill

comes early,

as earth

prepares

its descent

to winter.

  2. Sue, this was a fun prompt. You did good with it! I like your description of fall and the coming of winter. I did get the hint that winter is a low (time) to be descended into. :-)

  7. When I reached OSI page and saw the prompt of the week, I immediately thought of my ascent and 'descent' on a hot air balloon. Than you Sue. My post is just put up. Have a lovely week, my blog friends.
