A Golden Kiss

I Form - Imagism 9-18-24 6-20 lines ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Golden Kiss Summer bows out and leaves a golden kiss Maize dozes in mellow aster afternoons Orange glows on future jack-o-lanterns Multicolor bumpy gourds ride snaking vines Yellow corn silks dance like razzle dazzles Apples drink in the fading crimson sun Sunflowers sigh -autumn storms breach the sky Geese with twilight on their wings see new stars Ruby gems of cranberries swim in bogs Purple grapes soak in the warmth for harvest Twirling leaves leave frosty lace skeletons Fuzzy bees bid adieu to yellow days Tawny acorns shiver in the cold nights Fall wears an amber blush of jubilee.

Hi Kim! I love to watch the joyful dance of corn silks in the wind. Had to include them in this poem of autumn images. So glad you enjoyed this bit of fall fun. Sending you all the blessings of autumn.

"Orange glows on future jack-o-lanterns Multicolor bumpy gourds ride snaking vines Yellow corn silks dance like razzle dazzles" Wow, so beautiful dear Sam. Each line brings in a beautiful image. Each image stands out in lucidity and elegance. "Twirling leaves leave frosty lace skeletons Fuzzy bees bid adieu to yellow days" Another set of lines confirming the changes that come towards the end of Autumn. Your poetry is magical, sweet friend. This is a sure FAVE for me.

Ohh Dear Sam, what wonderful and expressive images of Autumn. Each line was almost like being in the scene. Full of colors, nature, metaphors, and action. What isn’t there to love. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
