Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Often sit by our lake and wish she was still here.

Missing Her in Autumn

by HarryT

Free Verse Contest Winner 
Sitting this evening on our favorite bench
Wafts of evergreen aroma soaking the air
Moon-glimmers on our much-loved lake

Closed my eyes, wishing the feel of you
Suddenly, your specter arises beside me
Silver moonlight highlights your raven hair

Bonfires of old kindle in my soul
Then tumble to smoldering ash
Sadden, opened my wishful mind's eye
 
Found myself only wishing
Covered by Autumn's dried
Crackling dead leaves
