Wandering the woods today
Thinking of the friends I've lost
Warm mist hanging in the air
and wondering about the cost
Autumn wind
blows right through me
Was there one who
really knew me?
What happened?
What did I do?
October blue
Looking up at strange clouds floating
Wondering if it will rain
Feeling sorry for myself
when I think of us again
Have to laugh despite it all
You understood absurdity
Mirrors for each other, you
would not believe what you could see
Hard to find
someone like you
October blue
Red and yellow
leaves beneath my dirty shoes
Distant memories
mixing with the autumn hues
Sometimes I wish
that I fit in
when I think of
you my friend
Even now
I still miss you
October blue.

That was absolutely lovely. Fall is a good time for poignancy...

Thanks for this expression. It mirrors my sentiment.
sounds like a pretty amazing person...and i fel the loss...like the mirrors stanza and not being able to believe what they see...def felt, this time of year...
I haven't done this week's Jam (yet?), but I did recently write a fall poem. I'm finding a connection between my poem and yours...not the same at all, but fall, the color blue, walking, a mirror, colors, love. I think the seasons can be the greatest prompts, perhaps fall being the most poetic.
I like your poem--very nice--and I like the photo. Thanks.
Link to the poem I just referred to (not sure if you'll have to copy/paste from the URL):

Thanks again mouse!
For some reason I can just hear Neil Diamond singing that. Kind of sounds like him.
One doesn't think of October as being "blue." But I see it can be.
Leonard Cohen perhaps? Nice write, October does signal a finality of sorts.
I just love this. Thankyou for inspiring me
The memories of lost friends are often the hardest to carry. Very heartfelt...

nostalgic and rich.
Blue maple leaf! Love that! Your poem would make a great country song.
that was really good! Thought provoking also...
I see that I'm not the only one hearing music with this.
"dirty shoes". A very good touch.
Blue October. Love that, I usually think of different colors. Just wondering what list you used... books or music? I like the feel of this, very sentimental.
Margaret,
I used 4 songs from American Top 40: Strange Clouds, It Will Rain, Someone Like You, and Mirror. Thanks!
