Hint of Autumn

The heart of autumn pulses deep
    Through gauzy veils of morning’s mist
    Late summer’s lust shimmers on leaves
    A pilgrimage of birds ascend

   Summer’s blooms put her seeds to rest
   The heart of autumn pulses deep
   Bronzed flowers border the landscape
   Country roads fringed in goldenrod

   Nature’s colorful palette scheme
   Amber and crimson among green
   The heart of autumn pulses deep
   Trees sway in the crisp evening breeze

   Farmers harvest from fertile fields
   A bounty of earth’s offerings
   Days grow shorter, nights grow longer
   The heart of autumn pulses deep

Paula: You have captured Autumn’s tones perfectly in iambic tetrameter. I felt I was dancing with the leaves as the Goddess of Autumn. Hugs, SuZ
