Autumn Rainbow Reveries

Red, orange and ochre…spill over into waterfalls of color Sable, tan and umber…tumble into a silky symphony Purple, wine, aubergine…cascade in chutes of amethyst fantasies Russet, copper and rust…flood in flowing reveries of nature’s tears

Four amazing monoku here.. each one with their own unique imagery.. full of colour and full of seasonal adjectives... my favourite is, Russet, copper and rust…flood in flowing reveries of nature’s tears.

Thank you so much SO! I am deeply honored by your feedback. I kind of like the "russet" monoku, as well! The word "reveries" brought up so many images of the dreaminess of fall as the leaves flow past me in rivers of color. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Sending you my gratitude and blessings!

Dearest Inky, your email is so lovely it gives my heart a much needed lift today! Thank you! The contest theme - Reveries - brought to mind the cadence and lyrical sense of a song sung by autumn splendor of colors and textures as leaves fall like waterfalls. Beautiful music, indeed. Thank you for sharing in this intricate music of the season. My gratitude and blessings to you!
