Jan Allison Poet Rhyme Royal

Notes About The Poem

Autumn Royal

Pumpkin gold sun sets in the twilight sky, 
its warm colours bring me so much delight
rich ginger and saffron shades catch my eye. 
I watch swallows dip and dive in mid flight 
until umber tints change day into night. 
I love the hues that this season will bring 
on the wizened leaves till the green of spring 

I’m told Newfoundland is stunning at fall 
with maple trees wearing a crimson gown, 
where leaves fall dressing the earth with a shawl. 
I love to see autumn leaves floating down, 
in shades of cinnamon, amber and brown. 
Fall’s arrival is something I desire,
I’m lovely and warm by my blazing fire.

Checked with rhymezone and how many syllables

Required words:-:-
Amber, cinnamon. Crimson. Fire. Pumpkin. Saffron. Ginger, umber.
