Within my depths ancient murmurs arise. As had Phoenix, I had burned to ashes. Yet I rise to strew the day with surprise as I flourish in brilliantine flashes. I am boisterous and blatantly loud in voice and also in buff appearance. Gregarious and bold, merging from cloud, I fold my wings in show of forbearance. My wings beat chill that draws color to fore, irrefutably majestic and grand. My winds blow promise not seen heretofore as I spread my majesty o'er the land. I am applauded as glorious Fall but I shall not - I shall rise above all!

Your comparison of Fall to the phoenix bird seems so appropriate. You have indeed approached the yellowing and withering of trees not as a sign of decay, but as an indication of rebirth. Well done Linda!

I love how you've compared autumn to a Phoenix! That was brilliant! Your rhyme scheme was truly outstanding, characteristic of a good sonnet. Plus, I liked the summary lines. Nicely done, Linda!
