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

Silent One Date: 10/28/2023 10:09:00 AM 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.

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!

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.
