Autumn- Constanza

Summer is withering away The earth no more is seen in green Colourful blooms, no longer seen The sky is dappled with clouds gray The sun has lost its golden sheen Dales deep, veiled in foggy screen Autumn leaves litter the byway When wintry gales shake the pine trees, Acorns drop, presenting a maze. Trees in multi shades line the way Indeed a delight for the eyes All through, one feels November's breeze Sad, these golden moments won't stay Though wind sings as it passes by, From our hearts, rise a restless sigh! Summer is withering away The sky is dappled with clouds gray Autumn leaves litter the byway Trees in multi shades line the way Sad these golden moments won't stay Sept.21.2022 ~ Placed Nineth~ Entered for Brian Strand 1215 Contest ~Placed First~ In Remembrance of Connie Autumn Theme Poetry Contest Sponsor- Suzanne Delaney

Dearest Valsa congratulations on your win with this beautiful tribute to Connie. I love your poignant line "sad these golden moments won't stay." A perfect line to describe the grieving heart that would capture the splendor of autumn and hold it tightly through winter tears. So happy you entered this wonderful poem. Blessing my friend! This is a lovely poetic gift. I know Connie would have loved it! You have captured the spirit of her writing.
