Uninspired on an overcast morn,
shrouded, a mist of ideas newborn
evaporate true inspired revelation.
Dear Autumn with your condensation,
wonder why you abhor a leafy loft,
send away my humecant words soft?
Withered truants twirl, fumble, hide.
What I seek no longer lives inside
a foggy window, merely a facade --
tiresome reflection looks at me odd.
Clouded in aged memory's wake,
behind every smile I cannot make,
rages a beauteous, symphonic death;
when Winter smears white my breath.



14 lines
Traditional, non-sonnet

Prompt: behind every smile
Words: facade, abhor, wonder, mist

I know what I feel inside, can't fully express it with my face on the outside and I'm aging as winter threatens again. Why don't you understand me?
