Autumn Depression

Autumn Depression

Grey skies drip tears,
through foggy window views;
obliterating visions
of faded leaves.

Trees bend and sway
in an end of summer dance;
while losing their bounty of colors,
as north winds blow cold air.

Soggy sadness, falling rain;
shorter days, longer nights.
Silent weeping, choking sobs,
depression in bare branches.

mn - 2008

Thanks, I already feel like hibernating! Guess I'm a spring person.

This is why there is so much depression in snow areas. The sky can be dark or gray like this for weeks at a time! The sun is very important to humans.

This is great! It reminds me so much of fall time in Denmark.
Danielle P. Nov 2, 2008, 7:25pm UTC
Beautifully written. Oh so true. It reminds me of my late husband. I believe SAD was a factor that led to his ultimate death.

Wow, that was really well written. I look at fall as the beginning of slumber before winter grips us with cold.

Lovely poem, Marilyn - I like it! Take heart, the sun will shine again (so to speak).
A beautiful description of Autumn. I love Autumn, it brings such glorious colours. Our winter here is so different to yours and sometime we look forward to it after a long hot summer.
Have a great day Marilyn
Mary Louise Marker Nov 5, 2008, 9:06pm UTC
That is a lovely picture, Marilyn.

I like Autumn, but I can see that many could find it melancholic.
Sheila Deeth Nov 6, 2008, 1:03am UTC

You did a wonderful job of describing these wet, soggy, dweary days. Good poem that describes the depression it brings.

Powerful and I hate to say that I can relate.
Thank you all for your very kind comments, they are all so very much appreciated.

I will be 'round to visit you all and see what you've been up to - what with Thanksgiving and a few other things, I haven't been online that much, so it's been a hit and miss when I have been. Hoping it'll get easier.

Marilyn
Very well written, ya getting a 10!
I am stopping by to return the favor of the comment/comments you left at my articles. I do want you to know that every little bit helps with earning the gift cards in time for Christmas shopping.

Your metaphor is very thickly doled out to give a sure feeling of depression in Autumn.
