A gaggle of snow-white geese flew down south. Winter must be nearing the cold season. Fog crept down the side of the orange hill side. Red full-grown maples dotted the countryside, And from amongst the withering grass Asters still persevered in their beauty. A breeze blew across the uneven plain Shedding colourful leaves whilst squirrels Ran from tree to tree. in search all in competition, For nooks to hide their wintry fare. Clouds dispersed the fog. Birds hunted for worms. Sweet to hear the twittering Finches and robins Relishing all with their songs. Last stanza is a Tanka. 11 October 2021 Subject: Nature Let's Mix It Up Poetry Contest Last stanza: tanka Sponsored by: Constance La France

Autumn is special with the multi hues nature sprinkles on herself when each leaf is a flower ! In your poem you have captured the charm of the maple and the alertness of the squirrels making hasty arrangements before the onset of winter!

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this, making me vicariously experience the delight Autumn brings... since I live in an "Autumnless" country. God bless you.

Wow fog crept down...and red maples dotted the countryside. Breath taking so much wonderful imagery paints as if eyes see and they do through your poetry. I think you have a winner! Good luck.

Most beautiful colors we find in Autumn, its a time of the year when a poet can really paint his heart canvass with Beauty. In fact it is our duty as poets to do just that dear Victor. Have a precious day :)

Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. I like your mix. Does the island change seasons like other places in the world or is it mostly tropical? Your visit to my page was interesting. Sara

Malta is not tropical, it resembles Italy. Our Autumn is short, winter cold and long as summer is hot and long. I love spring.
