The Reasoning Stone MAG
November 12, 2012
We walk, spineless and thoughtless
through summer,
only hopeful for the fall.
Where intoxicating colors dance runic-ally
Upon a leaf's end,
And young evergreens deride the old oak,
exposing its nakedness in debt of lies,
While each truth descends solemnly
toward the earth;
and the night rules by the falling sun,
calling not its allies for dependence,
but for an eternal rest.
We assume what is not,
and reject what is to become,
optimists we are not,
but pessimists there is none.
Guilty slaves of hope,
Boring the truth
in which not true-ness complies.
Multiple shades of blacks,
Only alive at night,
but in summer we thrive,
Why do we rejoice in Summer?

As I said before, it seemed disjointed. Some of the metaphors were a bit mixed to my mind, but that may be just me. Also the words you used seemed a bit heavy for a light-hearted ode to Summer. Or perhaps you were trying to insert a dark color relating to fall? Anyhow, broadly, the general tone seemed inappropriate for the subject.

Well putting aside the fact that I am easily confused (Poems for 1st graders confuse me)... Anywho... after reading it again... I really like the way the poem flows and your word choice is really good! Keep up the amazing writing!
