About This Poem
Up in the Autumn Air
Up in the autumn air, I swoop and glide -
a sleek black bird with tail feathers tipped white.
Bright leaves on wind beneath me gaily ride
up in the autumn air! I swoop and glide
on freedom’s wings, and beauty magnified
surrounds me radiantly on my flight.
Up in the autumn air, I swoop and glide -
a sleek black bird with tail feathers tipped white.
An orange leaf tinged yellow-gold am I -
twirled happily up in the autumn air
with comrade leaves. I dance beneath blue sky.
Above - a sleek black white-tailed bird glides by!
Below me, all the earth is bright and fair.
An orange leaf tinged yellow-gold am I -
twirled happily up in the autumn air.
(Triolet using iambic pentameter, instead of 8-syllable lines)
