Author's Notes: This poem, entitled: "An Autumn Portrait of Beauty" is a Rhyme verse I wrote describing the radiant beauty of a quite spacious and picturesque country scene behind the home of a former classmate of mine who lives in the mid-West in the United States. I was immediately inspired to write this poem based on the beautiful vision that came to my mind when I saw the picture she provided to me highlighting the verdant countryside behind her home that was so splendidly arrayed with a large green pond, surrounded by a number of lovely trees with all sorts of autumn colors and falling leaves scattered about on a vast expanse of grass. This is the palpable vision that compelled me to write this particular verse oriented toward the late Autumn season. (Gary Bateman - November 6, 2015) (Rhyme)

An Autumn Portrait of Beauty
On this quite beautiful and most radiant Autumn day,
I marvel at Mother Nature’s smile of silent pulchritude,
As I make a loving glance at such luscious scenery today,
In this country scene—a glorious gift of God’s certitude!
The trees and their fallen amber leaves adorn this Earth,
As a shimmering reflection pervades from a green pond,
Of Nature’s wonder with colors arrayed in a sacred rebirth,
Affirming God’s heavenly promise true and His holy bond!
This view of trees, grass, leaves, and a shadow near the pond,
Captures the glory and grace from God’s colored-palette a true,
That affirms His desire of rendering this beauty from beyond,
And I thank Him from my heart with joy and blessings so true!
Yes, God doth paint this world with such love for all to see,
His Autumn portrait here is of unparalleled artistry and grace,
That I interpret as a heavenly-made moment for all of us to be,
As I reaffirm the beauty of Nature’s gift in this wondrous place!
