Posie
I don’t know who invented it but it has a  rhyme scheme of ABABCC  ABABDD, and a syllable pattern of  888844  888844 (looks good centered, but that’s optional)

     

I feel melancholy today Autumn days have turned damp and cool. And the sun wears a veil of grey as the children head back to school, trekking through mud and piles of crud. It's a depressing kind of day; a scarecrow stands out like a fool, the crops have long been stored away. And as leaves fill my empty pool, skeletal trees fear Winter's freeze.

The flip side of autumn joy is the pensive spirit it brings to the surface. Summer has left and we know winter approaches. Autumn is definitely transition - "tween" season. So nicely expressed Emile. Sending you a :)" to brighten your day, blessings for your melancholy heart and congratulations.

Wonderful images of a "melancholy" sort of day. Nicely-written, Emile. I really enjoyed it, but I've been under the influence of pain pills all day. Had a tooth pulled and it is hurting where no tooth is. Can you beat that? Good poem for the contest. Best wishes.
