Autumn is Near

                                               Autumn is near


                        When nights on hours of the day do impinge
                            Softer are the rays of mid-day sunshine
                       Greenish leaves do start to pick orange tinge
                            Tall lupines linger low, curl down and pine
                                Roses slowly start to shed their petals
                                Lovely lavenders languish with crisp fear
                          Cooler air from grey clouds starts to settle
                                 Purple pansies begin to drip sad tears
                        When birds flutter with less strength with reason
                            It`s time to hail the fall`s train which is near
                               Time to greet the coming Autumn season
                              With its splash of red saffron hues so dear.

I am sorry, you couldn't enter it. This has happened to me many a time. Now I am careful to do it as soon as I post a contest entry.

"When birds flutter with less strength with reason It`s time to hail the fall`s train which is near" From such signs, we come to know, autumn is near. Lovely penning doing full justice to the subject. I am sure this will be placed high. All the Best.

Thank you Valsa for appreciating the poem and your kind wishes. Unfortunately I have been informed by the contest sponsor that my poem did not appear in the contest. I do not know how. Perhaps I may have forgotten to enter it in the contest after posting it on PS. Wish you a pleasant forthcoming weekend.
