Autumn Scene by BJ Neblett

It's been a while. I want to thank all for the concern and well wishes while my face repairs itself. Still some swelling and pain but all is going well! I am looking forward to getting back on the mound next season! In the mean time a bit of housecleaning and updating. You can now access all of my stories in Romance and eFiction magazines as well as my books by clicking the picture to the right. They are also available at Barnes & Noble. For those without Kindles or Nooks, they are available through the publisher at fictionmagazines.com.
Also, just in time for Halloween, I have posted one of my most popular and scary horror stories, Satan's Blood to my author blog for a free read. Just click the link to the right and enjoy. I suggest with the lights on!
Finally, here is a recent poem to get you into the season. Enjoy, and be sure to link, like, comment and share the love.

Autumn Scene

BJ Neblett

© 2008, 2013

October enters wearing a jacket

Knit tasseled cap and rosy freckled cheeks

With harvests of plenty farmers delight

World Series, State Fairs and pumpkin delights

Hunter’s moon simpers down with gibbous cheeks

Aquilo’s sharp breath toys at your jacket

Candied trick or treats, children’s apple cheeks

Grid iron reunions, Thanksgiving delights

Homecoming Queen in letterman’s jacket

Frosty cheeks glow

Windswept leaves delight in a final dance

Before the sullen earth is shrouded

Beneath an ivoty jacket

Leaving by BJ Neblett

            Leaving

When a star falls where does it go?

Does it run and hide from the other stars

Ashamed of its own mortality?

Is there a place

            A town

                     A city where fallen stars go?

Where they cry their troubles to others like them

Talk about their problems

            Find support groups for fallen stars

Is there a doorway from the sky?

You say you are leaving

            Fallen from my sky

            Out of my world

                        My universe

                                    My life

Where will you go my love?

Have you found a doorway out of my heart?
