Autumn Vibes
by Poetic Rizz
Original poem "Autumn Sonnet (for Dennis)" by Joy. C. Swan
Poetry Now Version
Autumn's here, and winter's on the horizon.
You’ve already lived three glorious decades.
The days are getting shorter,
And our bright summers have faded away.
Though our love is young, we’re aging like fine wine.
Let’s enjoy this golden time together.
We’ll celebrate autumn’s beauty with courage,
Facing each new day with joy and laughter.
Take my hand, my love, let’s be a team—
Friends at heart, lovers in spirit, and partners for life.
Together we’ll embrace whatever comes our way.
Now kiss me and hold me close—
Before winter steals away my warmth.
— Poetic Rizz
Original Poem
Now autumn's here, winter's not far away.
Already you've attained three score and ten.
We notice now the shortening of the day,
Our spring and summer gone, won't come again.
Although our love is young, we're growing old
So savour mellow fruitfulness a while.
Let's glory in the autumn and be bold,
We'll laugh and greet each new day with a smile.
Give me your hand my love and let us be
Close friends, fond lovers, help-mates to the end,
And best of all to be good company,
Sharing whatever else this life may send.
Come kiss me love and hold me in your arms
Before cold winter freezes all my charms.
— Joy. C. Swan
