*Poetry for Fall by Jay Grummel
"Much like the title says this collection is perfect for cozy reading. Written specifically with fall in mind Darrow writes soft pieces with supernatural undertones. She takes the usually feared fall features such as ghost and turns them into something soft, something that is beyond just fear. If you're looking for a cozy, but in the Halloween/fall spirit this collection is exactly what you need." From Read Poetry - (September 20, 2020 - Blog - Andrews McMeel Publishing
* 8 Poetry Collections for Sweater Weather by Thea Voutiritsas
"A poet of the rural Midwest, Jan Darrow's work is deeply rooted in the natural world. A lover of ghost stories and abandoned spaces, Autumn Poetry: A Collection for the Season evokes the haunting spirit of Autumn."
A LOOK INSIDE: AUTUMN POETRY: A COLLECTION FOR THE SEASONAugust Lakes No use
gathering now
the August lakes
have gone to seed.
Persistent
autumn winds
batter the sky.
Cold dry docks push
against a siege
of colored leaves
blown across
the water echoing
the last
dissolving sound
of summer. GHOSTS a simple light upon gray shadows
and the resolution fades beyond the rising hills
we realize
they are within our waking souls
and while they roam among the sallow wood smoke trees
and filter in through doors
they take delight in tapping wooden floors
at night where shaken covers fall to floor
and dry cool air becomes pooled beneath the rim
of sun born days Whisper in the Woods The forest path has fallen leaves
And smells of apples
Ripened in the trees.
On warm October days I've stood;
I've heard the whisper in the woods.
It murmurs low about the vines
But sound is stronger as it climbs
About the oaks and pines.
It speaks wisdom from the years;
Mother Nature's clever.
Listen,
For all that she has understood
Is ours forever.
The woods are full of winter wood
Colors gold and gray,
And I'll remember what I've heard
On warm October days. For Children (Sample)Witches Wicked cold
Halloween old
Werewolf itch
Cat tails twitch
Broomsticks in flight
Knuckles that might
Knock on your door
Ghostly lore
Dreadful night
Screams with fright
Wrinkled up skin
Let us
Come
In !!! _______________________________________________________________ Other books by Jan Darrow and available on Amazon include:
