Autumn

Autumn
Some say autumn is sad
It has it’s moments
Rain , mist, dying nature...
Stillness in the air,
Cold, crispy days
Bonfires, burning leaves...
I say autumn is joyful,
Happy, outburst of colours
Laughter in the parks,
Children chasing each other
falling  into the leaves,
Hunting  for acorns
Little treasures hidden
Under the fallen canopy.
Chestnuts, pumpkins,
Pies and hot cocoa...
Gathering, harvesting,
Leaf pile building.
Bullions of gold corn,
Smiling red apples,
Nutty nuts
Delicious hedge fruit
Bounty of nature
Rainbow of colours
Symphony of shades and hues
Tints of autumn
Spell of the Grand Wizard Frost.
Turned leaves, like a giddy spark of
Yellows, oranges, crimson and browns
Glistening glitter
Dance in the wind.
Bright hues of last
hurrah of autumn
Before the white, gloomy
Silence of winter.
Magic of autumn,
Golden Age of the year
With the last leaf that falls
On the muddy ground
One knows that time has come
For another magical time ...
Golden October, Frosty November
Magical December
And with this the spell starts all over again....

Hi Angie. Welcome to poetry soup. The people in here are lovely and make everyone feel welcome. I was welcomed not too long ago myself and the people here are so supportive. Lovely words. You should separate the poems. Each one has a story to tell. Amateur? What is amateur? None of us get paid. We just write what we feel. .and I, for one, can feel what you have written here... Wonderful. Keep it up. Tom

These are my poems (amateur level), wordplay. I dont write certain type of poems, just write down the words that pop into my head and try to make them "sing" , rhyme. At times its easier to bake a cake, then write a poem......I'm sure you all know what im talking about. Thank you for taking time, reading them.
