Autumn - Constanza

As sunshine's warmth grows distant still We lose summer to autumn's wind Flowers fading, their petals thinned We'll lose the leaves to Autumn's will But in their final goodbye show They will put on a fiery glow Birdsongs reflect on autumn's chill Flash of crimson in trees now blaze With gold and orange leaves in phase Flaming colors ignite a hill With autumn's glory in full view The dance of leaves will then ensue When leaves blaze splendor, what a thrill, Of all the beauty seasons bring, Connie had crowned the autumn King! As sunshine's warmth grows distant still We'll lose the leaves to Autumn's will Birdsongs reflect on autumn's chill Flaming colors ignite a hill When leaves blaze splendor, what a thrill! 9-19-2022 In Remembrance Of Connie -Autumn Theme Poetry Contest Sponsor: Suzanne Delaney

Joseph, you really got into the spirit of this by honoring both Connie and her favorite season in her own Constanza form. Some gorgeous imagery here, I most enjoyed the stanza "Flaming colors ignite a hill / With autumn's glory in full view / The dance of leaves will then ensue." Well done, and thanks for sharing your tribute to Connie ~ John

I love the imagery, Joseph. By using the form Connie created, which so exquisitely captures her favorite season of the year, you pay tribute to her. I'd like to think that she is reading them all.
