Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Autumn Afterglow

Autumn Afterglow

Pristine blue October skies are flowing
Falling leaves a’ waltz upon the air
Tapestries of woven destinations
Painted in a colorful affair

Apple pies in open windows calling
Woolen jackets hung beside the door
Frolicking through wayward pumpkin patches
Hand in hand, now who could ask for more

Pinecones rest along a winding pathway
Sparrows sing in barren trees above
Dreaming in the afterglow of Autumn
Nature’s beauty shared with one you love

Lifes' Tapestry October 26, 2018 at 9:29 AM I really enjoyed this one, Autumn is my favourite season of all. A lovers waltz - very nice. Chris Green October 26, 2018 at 12:00 PM I am happy you enjoyed this one. I enjoy Autumn as well, though where I live now Autumn is very short lived.

White Wolf October 23, 2018 at 7:57 PM Excellently done. Best of luck, bro Chris Green October 24, 2018 at 8:43 AM Thanks my friend.

Gershon Wolf October 23, 2018 at 5:02 PM The sights, smells, and sounds in this one are so precious. You should either bake them in a pie and sell them---or get your poems published. They are just wonderful!!! We are all vying for second place in the contest. A real winner and a FAVE for me. Bravo, poet! Best wishes, Gershon Chris Green October 23, 2018 at 5:23 PM That sounds like a good idea...poetic pie, mmmm. : ) I guess it would be a little slice of life. : ) Thanks so much my friend for all of your kindness.

Heidi Sands October 23, 2018 at 3:43 PM This poem describes it just as it is, very nice! I like the apple pie line - I made an apple pie the other day, but the crust didn't come out so well. I was missing ingredients. :) Chris Green October 23, 2018 at 3:44 PM I'm sorry to hear that Heidi but happy you liked my poem. : ) I'm sure the pie was delicious anyway.
