English/Czech poem Alone/Osamělá

This is the last poem that I have managed to translate.  I will resume translating more of my poems into Czech after the holidays.  I originally wrote this poem in 1967.

ALONE

The wind

howled

I felt a surge

of emotion

rush

through me

Leaves crackled

underfoot

Trees

reached

for me

Autumn

echoed

in every

woebegone

niche

As I

broke

into

a run

Osamělá

Vítr kvílí

Cítím se

vzplanutím emocí

prorostlá

Listí

pod nohama

šustí

Stromy

vztahují

ke mně své paže

A já

cítím podzim

v každém

zanedbalém výklenku

A dávám se

do běhu

Fall Mosaic

I love falling into autumn - another poem about my absolute favorite season....

Fall Mosaic

Wild autumn winds

Weave through fiery

Fall colored palette

Swirling and mixing

Moody brooding sky

Misty eyed gray toned

Whimpering whispers

Blend into pigments

Dull vibrant flushed tones

Shade, dim vivid tints

Leave painted collage

Stained with muted hues

Shadows on the Carpet - Section 4 - Fallen

The 4th section of my book is 'Fallen'.  I have tagged 9 poems for this section.  I am sharing 'Fallen Angel' and it will be the last poem in the section.  This poem was inspired by the photo.  I got out of the car and looked down and took a picture and this is what I saw- a gift from my camera.  I just love it when nature and my camera make the photo art for me.

Fallen Angel

  

In tears she lays

This straying angel

Drained of fervor

Unable to fly

Faded and cold

Like the fallen leaf

That floats on a

Puddle of water

In a bizarre

February thaw
