Autumn's Breath

Autumn's breath, a gentle sigh Trees waving this year's final goodbye I breathe in air, cool and crisp As colored jewels fall, a fleeting wisp Yellows, orange and reds, mix with green Swirling...tumbling...falling... Leaving autumn's rainbow, neath my feet For a glorious while, then to retreat Among autumn's breath, away they go Scattered hither, to and fro Carried away by autumn's breath Awaiting winter's cold blanket of death Donna Jones 8-24-2013

I enjoyed this poem Donna, this should do well in the contest. It did get spooky there at the end, but I should mange without my night-light this evening. LOL! MC

Lovely piece. " Yellows, orange and reds, mix with green Swirling...tumbling...falling..." Awesome lines. The Juxtaposition of words in this poem create an uplifting contrasting effect.

this really does evoke autumn in the reader's mind; the falling leaves described as 'jewels', the vivid colours, very nice...and thank you for your lovely, inspiring comment on my work :)
