As Autumn Comes

As summer grudgingly gives way, Autumn comes close to the threshold. Many changes come in array, Though they can’t be kept long in hold. Wind blows mild in whispering tone, As summer grudgingly gives way. Leaves change into dark red and brown. In time they fall and in air sway. Maple tree makes our mind so gay. Its bright auburn shade, none can hide. As summer grudgingly gives way, All dressed up, Earth comes as a bride. With autumn, trees wear a face new. It's when wind blows in mighty sway. Such changes are a joy to view, As summer grudgingly gives way.

Dearest Valsa, you've captured the transition to Autumn, "As summer grudgingly gives way" so beautifully in your Quatern, a thorny form you tamed with lovely poetic finesse. Your vibrant imagery announces Autumn's arrival with flair! Congratulations for your excellent win in Joseph's contest. Warmest wishes, sweet poetess.. ~Susan

What a lovely quatern Valsa. Summer is a sore loser to autumn whose magnificent colors show a new face. Very nicely done Valsa! :)

This is absolutely gorgeous dear valsa, and for some reason i really found it lyrical too maybe the way you’ve rhymed. And also I absolutely love the autumnal imagery throughout this and your wordplay is so creatively stunning. I especially love “ All dressed up, Earth comes as a bride.“ whoa! How do you come up with such lines? Im truly in awe impressed! This definitely is a fave for me. Goodluck in the contest too

Summer has to relinquish somehow, and make way for the next lovely season, so eloquently put dear Valsa

"With autumn, trees wear a face new. It's when wind blows in mighty sway. Such changes are a joy to view, As summer grudgingly gives way." Lovely read. Beauty in all changes. Myself, not enamored of the physical defeat, but joyed by the wising spirit.
