Maurice Yvonne Poet Free verse

Autumn Colours

i am surrounded by a blaze of  flaming colors in God's garden.
autumn happily creating with her palette in hand the September scape.

a thousand shades of reds, yellows, browns, earth tones spread,
blended perfectly by the artist's loving hand, a sensual delight.
a masterpiece, sketched against a bark colored scrim of nature's flesh.

with my eyes opened wide and my body clothed in autumns light 
quenched but still wanting, unwillingly i stagger away, drunk from exposure.

Andrea Dietrich February 11, 2015 at 6:12 PM came way back here to give you a big thanks for seeing so many of my old poems today. Yes, I love many forms . Probably I have written more limericks, triolets and haiku than all of the other short forms. wish I had time to search for a poem of yours I've not seen. Please hurry and put up these new gems you say you are writing!!

Gary Thomas September 4, 2014 at 9:01 AM My Prayer : May the fertility of my mind and the fecundity of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Gaia, Goddess of the earth. Such a fecund heart - your o'euvre overwhelms me! Your mind my mind meets! (o sweet spontaneous earth how often have the doting fingers of prurient philosophers pinched and poked thee ....(e e cummings)). More, more - a sarabande to Fall, a tango to Winter, a fandango to Spring, and a waltz to Summer, perhaps. Get crackin' and don't spare the cerecration. Lots o' room. Maurice Yvonne September 4, 2014 at 9:09 AM great write thank you.
