Autumn

Leaves of orange, brown,ochre and gold twirl and swirl in
autumnal breeze


This golden gown drifts to the forest floor. Tree
shivers as limbs exposed


yet her vibrant shawl blankets the ground until it's
composted to earth

Such delightful, vivid imagery to celebrate your favourite time of year. ‘ This golden gown drifts to the forest floor’, ‘ vibrant shawl blankets the ground’. Gorgeous, poetic lines. One of your best yet! Happy Halloween my lovely over there in The Isle Of Man- I’ve always wanted to visit the islands. Hugs and smiles :):) Login to Reply
