M. L. Kiser Poet Prose

Autumn Palette Collage

From peacock and spruce,
to Vandyke red and orange,
raw and sepia umber's meld
in an autumn palette collage.
Scent of burning fires
rests upon nostrils, 
clasped in chill air,
as dew builds to frost
upon the ground.
Sunny hues in autumn
bring puddings pies and 
cookies baking in the stove;
their crusty golden tops
give way to the bite
and the gentle soft interiors
melt across the tongue.
I look out on the yellows
reds, greens and oranges
as they jigsaw together 
and am unable to stifle
the smile.

Gershon Wolf August 27, 2020 at 7:02 PM If autumn's not your favorite season, it sure is your greatest 'poetic season,' methinks. Wonderful, M.L! Bravo, Gershon M. L. Kiser October 11, 2020 at 11:00 PM I think Spring and Autumn are both my favorites; both are great for driving in the country, photographing scenery and stopping at places to sketch. I get a thrill from doing that. Thanks.
