Notes About The Poem

Entry for the Double Double Words to Bubble 2 Poetry Contest, submitted June 27, 2024 - First Place)

Autumn Colors

Autumnal equinox arrives, reliable and cycliC;
Unerringly, the summer swansong is sung and sO
The shades of the season burst gloriously and then falL
Upon the ground in hues of gold, amber, sepia, russet and muted maraschinO.
Melancholy clouds and chills signal the advance of winteR;
Nature's iridescence: a seasonal spectacular from all that is deciduouS.

Awe perfection... Great word choices and beautifully descriptive, placing me in my back yard on a cool October evening and soaking in all the colors and flavors of autumn! Xoxo

Autumn is my favourite season and I love the flavours and colours too. I’m sure that autumn is beautiful in your part of America. Thank you for your kind words. Cheers from Canada, Jim.
