Suzanne Delaney Poet Dizain

Notes About The Poem

Autumn Meadow

Dogwood leaves in shades of rust and Merlot
quiver in the first glow of  morning light
A squirrel dances with it’s own shadow
under a veil of Oak leaves in  mid flight
Trees dance with the magic of a Twelfth Night
Crisp air fills with sounds of Autumn birdsong
blue sky and stillness  sunlit days prolong
Suddenly leaves are whirling, raining down 
an orange afternoon sings a torch song
Still meadow rests in rustic eiderdown.
