Fall down

poem by: Martyn Grindrod
Written on Jan 06, 2017

Hollow Pumpkin 
Alight Triangular eyes
Summer's gone 
Sad goodbyes 

Darkness envelop
with yellow tumble
Autumnal chill
Thunder cloud rumble

Ruddy face russet Red
Spiralling descent of once living
gyrating , Twizzling down
To ground fell gently giving 

Once alive healthy green
decry rotting brown
Once smiling cheery faced 
But now a deathly frown

thank you
