contest The Grandeur of Fall

sponsor Emile Pinet

The gleam of Autumn falls through colored leaves in glorious glow of gorgeous rapture ushers in enchantment to forest trees with serenity, Autumn can capture these multi-colored leaves slowly turn brown an omen to come from a season's shift gone are the leaves that tumble and breakdown released by the North Wind of Fall's chilled drift There's a loneliness to limbs that are bare as they move with the wind beneath gray skies this harbinger of death comes without care as the beauty of Autumn slowly dies The grandeur of Fall will often be brief It starts with the change of a single leaf

Your way with describing things is so creative and beautiful, i really love the way you’ve woven imagery as well as how captivating your rhymes are here. My fave lines would be, “ There's a loneliness to limbs that are bare“ so evocative and soul stirring. “ glorious glow of gorgeous rapture“ seamless alliterations. “ It starts with the change of a single leaf” whoa what an ending. Im in absolute awe. Truly loved this take. Definitely a top winner. Goodluck for the contest
