Lucilla Carrillo Poet Free verse

Autumn

Autumn is here. When I think of autumn,
I think of the beautiful colors, that God 
used to paint the landscape.

I see green,yellow,orange, brown and red.
Everytime that I take a ride in the country
site, or go up on the mountains, or forest
preserves.

Come with me, lets go for a ride. Lets you and 
I explore the sites. We will enjoy the beauty of
Mother Nature. It is free for you and me.

We will watch how the leaves fall from the trees.
They will come by the thousands and fall
everywhere, while the wind plays a beautiful song.

All the leaves will dance until they drop, in the 
sunlight and shine of the moon. They will form a 
carpet of beautiful colors, so that we can enjoy 
each autumn...

Andrea Dietrich September 16, 2012 at 10:03 AM DAnce until they drop!! Oh my that is so cool to put that line into a poem. It's such a common expression but I don't think I have ever seen it cleverly inserted into a fall poem before!! Congrats on your win with this pretty poem.

Khalid Darwish September 12, 2012 at 4:07 PM OMG! What a nice penned piece! It's really marvellous. This is the best part for me: 'They will form a carpet of beautiful colors' I imagine that carpet full of colors of nature made by God. Thank you for sharing. Love, Khalid.

Andrea Dietrich September 11, 2012 at 9:03 PM I think Russell is going to thoroughly enjoy this captivating description of lovely autumn. It's so nice to see two new poems from you when I come here tonight!

Robert Pettit September 10, 2012 at 11:14 PM Nice descriptive write, Lucilla. Just one thing: in your first verse, you have ended a sentence with the preposition "with". It is considered improper grammar to end a sentence with a preposition. Just a suggestion: how about changing that line to, "When I think of autumn (use lower case a, "autumn" is not considered a proper noun), I think of the beautiful colors that God has used to paint the landscape"?
