Ever-Autumn TownIn dreams I live where times are old,
Where leaves will turn an orange-gold When chill of winter wind is cold In Ever-Autumn Town My spirit lives and never dies, And children never speak of lies With dreams of building past the skies In Ever-Autumn Town Jack-o-lanterns line the way Their faces glow through mid of day Where passing souls will make their stay In Ever-Autumn Town The streets are dark by nine o'clock You'll find that doors aren't made to lock And picket fences 'round the block In Ever-Autumn Town The milkman brings the day anew Where dreamers' visions grace the view, And doers -- there have come a few In Ever-Autumn Town This is my dream of memories made of photographs that brown and fade In scrapbooks stained with lemonade In Ever-Autumn Town I hear the crackle in the air, for autumn leaves are blowing there. Come with me, there's enough to share In Ever-Autumn Town © 2013 Nicholas Emeigh |

Part of the Playlist "The Poetry of Nicholas Emeigh" which includes 40+ other poems.
Notes: This poem was written in 1999 as a class assignment, and published to the web on January 29, 2007. I illustrated the original (final draft handed in to fulfill the assignment) with pencil sketches/drawings accompanying each verse. The poem differs slightly from the one in the booklet as it has been edited over the years.
