Autumn Beauty

Leaves have floated into piles, luminous colors for miles and miles; burgundy, burnt orange and yellow hovering, the trees slowly relinquishing and surrendering. A cool breeze makes them dance, some quiet and calm, some leap and prance; the autumn sky, so ever changing, clouds moving, billowing and expanding. One blustering cold wind, the piles empty where once leaves had been; a brilliant sun touches a tree, and lovely stained glass windows, I now see. ___________________________________ August 14, 2012 Poetry/Verse/Autumn Beauty Copyright Protected, ID 08-413-505-14 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard contest, August Sponsor, Brian Strand , Judged 08/2016 First Place Written for the Standard contest, Autumn's Beauty Sponsor, Gail Doyle, Judged 08/2012 First Place ____________________ Featured Poem- Week of September 11, 2022

One of the most beautiful poems I have ever read. The colorful imagery of fallen leaves left me, as a seasonal poem fan, more than pleased.

Absolutely beautiful. It reminds of a wedding I attended in Quebec during autumn, I saw the stained glass windows in the woods. Well done. Lee
