And leaves faded old are flying, withered red, burnt orange and gold: and the birds in trees are crying; the mornings have a hint of cold ! Autumn is weeping, weeping rain, and leaves faded old are flying: garden flowers decay and wane; tomorrow they will be dying ! Autumn hues intensifying, with chill days when the sun is bleak: and leaves faded old are flying; even the droning bees seem weak ! The wind now like a waltzing dance, swirling, twirling mystifying: the beautiful scenes a dream trance; and leaves faded old are flying ! ______________________ August 13, 2022 Poetry/Quatern/And Leaves Faded Old Are Flying Copyright Protected, ID 1479-793-13 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France POEM OF THE DAY - August 15, 2022 Written for the Premiere contest, A Hint of Autumn sponsor, Regina McIntosh, Judged 09/03/2022 Fourth Place

"The wind now like a waltzing dance, the beautiful scenes a dream trance- Autumn hues intensifying" Such vivid images you paint with your words. Watching leaves change color is a breathtaking experience. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. Congratulations Constance, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Constance, congratulations on your POTD honor! Every day I see summer's beauty fade just a little more as color creeps into our liquid ambers as a reminder that autumn waits in the wings. Just lovely in a pensive, not melancholy, remembrance of summer while waiting for autumn to bloom in its full glory. All the best for the contest. Blessings!
