A Pause For Nature

Sour orange and Cherry red Golden hue under a bed Of garden pink and passionate skies Where they’ll meet their timely demise Ushering in a snappy breeze For twilight time is smooth with ease The sun has drawn to close its eyes The warmth that now crawled from its apprise And now shadowing into the night We are guided by a different light Fall has issued where it was a broiled Dancing there on the green mossy soil Pairing rights and colored plumes Preparing for the springtime bloom Pick the seeds from what look like weeds Collecting and canning them as beads The briny vines with fruitless wonder Winter shall embrace them under.

The rhyming couplets in this poem give the piece a special spark. The flow of the lines really touches on nature itself and the beauty of such natural occurrence in life. The colors are very inspirational to the eye sight and have a sparkle of brilliance. Great job! ~Joseph

We need to take the time to smell the roses. There is such beauty in all of nature. We get caught up sometimes and miss the important stuff. God Bless. Vince
