Autumn Fire

About the time August loses ardor – melting into her – she awakens!
Unabashed is she, Autumn’s uncommon goddess, unfolding herself for all to see.
Thrilling to wind’s tempting tempo, she flutters, touching the twilight tangerine.
Unflaggingly, she undulates radiance through trees before their final undressing.
Moved by a mysterious melody, she meanders in meadows and in mists.
Nuances of feelings come to us when we hear its sometimes melancholy notes.

Filling with fall fever, she fuses sky with terrain, flashing flames of persimmon.
Infatuated with her own imagination, she has ignited the world in iridescence. 
Red, russet, and gold enrich our world; we behold her ravishing array of artistry.
Exquisite is her passion as she enraptures us. Everlastingly may she reign!

A Quintain About a Fall Poem A contest that I got N/A in had inspired me to write a new acrostic, and I did not want to stall. Personifying autumn, I used some imagery to portray the splendid beauty of fiery fall. Of my last month’s poems, I felt it was the best one of them all. Poem #1: N/A poem in the Autumn Fire Contest posted & judged 10/27/16 Reposted 11/18/16 for Broken Wing's Take The Dagger From My Heart, Please - 3 (NA's from September, October, November 2016 Contests)Poetry Contest

Yes autumn's artistry can be fantastic. The colors are simply remarkable. I look forward to this period every year. We planted a row of Japanese maple trees, and the red they become at this time is a miracle.

Your poems are always so wonderful to read. We are just now seeing yellowing leaves, though leaves have been falling. I hope we'll be seeing the scarlets, rusts, and golds in a week or so.
