Connie Marcum Wong Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Aesthetic Autumn

Aesthetic Autumn

Oh scarlet sunset your red hue,
Vermilion shades with crimson too,

Match my favorite season's shades
O'er woodlands and bright gilded glades

Trees claim rust, orange, brown and gold,
What a stunning sight to behold!

Soft rain combined with wayward wind 
Refreshes trees as drops descend.

As dancing, twirling leaves depart
Their susurrate song stills my heart.

Andrea Dietrich March 15, 2022 at 4:25 PM awww, yours was a beauty, Connie. I think maybe she had a short winner list. Otherwise, I can't see why this was not on it.

Susan Ashley November 3, 2018 at 7:40 PM You captured the stunning beauty of Autumn with brilliant shades of colorful imagery (heightened by soft rain), and the graceful movement of falling leaves. An exquisite poem, Connie, I especially the love the rustling sound of your last couplet - I know the song and I love it too.. Superb poetry! Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan Connie Marcum Wong November 13, 2018 at 9:27 PM It means a lot to me that you liked this poem so much Susan. It didn't make the short winner's list, but with comments like this it feels like a winner to me! Thank you so much! : ) xxoo

Chris Green October 31, 2018 at 1:02 PM Connie, your poems always touch me in the most beautiful way. I just happened upon this one today and I must say, I needed something wonderful like this to return my smile. This was gorgeous. Connie Marcum Wong October 31, 2018 at 2:11 PM I add my smile to yours after reading this sweet comment Chris. Thank you my friend! : ) xxoo

CayCay Godwin October 16, 2018 at 2:47 AM Oh how I love the rhyme, flow and imagery. You are a master of nature imagery, you really are - always delightful and 'new' though the topic is past old. Amazing. I haven't a clue about the contest status, but as I've seen others write, 'good for win.' Love ... CayCay

Bette Bavington October 12, 2018 at 5:42 PM Your imagery is superb it brings autumn right to my door. The dancing twirling leaves as the wind blows gives mind to all the raked piled of leaves the children will be able to play in. Great job.

Agnes Krampe October 12, 2018 at 5:43 AM Lovely autumn poem. I am looking forward to the leaves turning. It's my favorite season here. Connie Marcum Wong October 12, 2018 at 3:43 PM Thank you Agnes. Enjoy the fall colors. My daughter sent me a video of a drone flying over the changing trees set to music. I love the fall too. : )

Carolyn Devonshire October 11, 2018 at 12:27 PM Connie, your words match the photo beautifully! These are the sights of fall that I miss most from my childhood home in the Northeast. Those "dancing, twirling leaves" never did last long enough. A wonderful entry for the contest, dear, and I send winning wishes your way! Love, carolyn Connie Marcum Wong October 11, 2018 at 12:57 PM Thank you very much Carolyn. : ) xxoo

Demetrios Trifiatis October 5, 2018 at 4:46 AM What a marvel of an Autumn painting it is dearest, Connie ! Captivating! Good luck dear friend!

Lindsay Laurie October 4, 2018 at 11:38 PM Dear Connie … you must be at the stage where you could put together a book with pictures and poems of autumn. Both compliment each other beautifully - thank you once again Connie - Lindsay Connie Marcum Wong October 5, 2018 at 2:24 AM I have been trying to even up my seasonal poems a bit by writing more of the seasons other than Autumn but Autumn has my heart! Thank you Lindsay. : )

Curtis Moorman October 4, 2018 at 11:12 PM Connie, how beautifully expressed. As if it is not already known, people who read this would say of you, "You should be a poet!" If they only knew you as we do! Congratulations on a superb win! Connie Marcum Wong October 5, 2018 at 2:22 AM Thank you very much Curtis. This one wrote itself! : )

Andrea Dietrich October 4, 2018 at 7:24 PM I'm so glad to hear she helped you, Connie. I wish I had someone here to fix technical things for ME. I want Netflix upstairs as well as down but I am using my nephew's Netflix and I could only get it when he was here. I wish desperately to buy another mechanism to get it put on upstairs but Joe and I will never figure it out!! Connie Marcum Wong October 4, 2018 at 8:57 PM My daughter is a marvel, putting two bookcases together for her sister and helping me connect Dvd player and fixing my phone, helping me download photos etc. She would help you if you lived close. The best thing she did was to put my patio swing together that was a B.day/Mother's day gift. She also took the other rusted one apart to have it taken away. She was only here four days and is leaving soon. My husband really appreciated her help and gave her a really nice birthday gift. I hate to see her leave. : )

Andrea Dietrich October 2, 2018 at 3:38 PM susurrate is such a cool word. I have not used it in a long time! this is lovely ,connie. I think I've not posted my set of these yet. Connie Marcum Wong October 2, 2018 at 10:08 PM Thanks Andrea. My daughter is here visiting and hasfixed most everything on my list. I wish I were that good with cell phones and technical things.
