Autumn's Arrival

Autumn's Arrival Leaves radiate vivid colors beautifying elms mesmerizing dubious eyes Seized out of wooden closets woolen sweaters and scarfs would suffice Warm breezes bade goodbye to an impending avalanche of glacial chill Nights endure longer as stars paint panoramic scenes in silken vermeil Stoking tinder in campfires country bumpkins imbibe whiskey and rum Driver sporting Victorian gear embark on a horse and buggy tryout run City dwellers undermine tourists upending stores plowing for a bargain Autumn awaiting raindrops summon the skies to rain upon a mountain 01/17/2018 12:21 A.M.

Oh, don't you love the fall, the breeze, colors and all? I can tell you do. I lived in Vermont for a few years between living outside New York City. Your 3rd line of your second stanza made me think of this time. My favorite line though is the last one in your 1st stanza. What a beautiful picture it would be to paint. Mmmm..dreamy.

"Warm breezes bade goodbye to an impending avalanche of glacial chill" Autumn breeze will give way to glacial chill. The inevitable change of season is beautifully described in splendid words, Anselmo.

Hello Ansolmo ... autumn is certainly the transition season. Colour changing and a bounty of fruit before the dearth of winter - thanks Ansolmo - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay, thanks for the visit and comment. Yes, the trees here in Florida are losing their leaves and the temperature has now chilled. Winter has arrived...anselmo

A panorama of late Fall imagery here, Anselmo, penned with the rich lexicon I have come to expect from 'The Wizard of Words!' (That's you!). Thanks, Gershon
