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.

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. Login to Reply
