Autumn Delicacies

Autumn Delicacies Scruffy clouds scoot across a ragged autumn sky Scattering bits of seasonal, savory, spice ~ Hues of paprika fly from orange tupelos Then spin together in tumbleweeds of rusty umber oaks And fluttering tinges of gold from ginger hued aspens ~ Aromatic sassafras, imbued by sable sycamores, Stir up chestnut stars of wafting anise stars Folded into swirling feasts of umber cinnamon beech Twirling potpourris of equinox bouquet garni As whirlwinds mix the delicacies of burgundy liquid amber ~ A banquet feast ~ a jubilee ~ Mixed and measured By the hand of wind song rhapsodies Strewn across autumn’s tongue ~ Taste testing fall. 10-13-21 Contest: Let’s Mix It Up Sponsor: Constance La France Lines 1-2 – Unrhymed couplet Lines 3-9 Imagism Lines 10-14 Tanka Unrhymed Lines
