Autumn Colors

Autumn fair, I envision you shaded in nutmeg and golden maize; Under cerulean October sky, swirling wonders hold my gaze. Terracotta soothes and sienna burns, I stroll bark and bramble spellbound; Until the tree limbs cradle me close, winds wait in whispers without a sound. Majestic moments capture my heart, memories dance then fall with grace. Never shall your splendor pass; autumn fair I'll never forget your face. By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, August 20, 2012 for Autumn Fall Colors Contest (Russell Sivey)

Rhonda, so lovely! I hope to see this top the charts. So much do I love about this, nutmeg (perfect) maize (nice choice) soothes/burns (Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about). Sent you mail. Your prayers seemed to have helped. Much better day. Hugs and more hugs, Cyndi
