A Poem Written In Iambic Pentameter
Autumn Love
I find autumn’s approach tinges the air:
Season to season, days faithfully flow,
My mirror, of late, reflecting gray hair
And my wife’s merry cheeks losing some glow
Though the glow of our love burns like June sun,
Its luminance brighter with ebbing time,
Our intertwined lives rife with elation
Since we embarked on this marriage sublime,
A day of grandeur when she marched the aisle
With flower bouquet, long withered and sere,
Yet, still she maintains a knack to beguile
So, as leaves flush to gold, I hold her dear.
