Roy Pett Poet Rhyme Royal

Autumn Royal

Mother Nature makes seasonal progress 
as cold autumnal winds crimson our cheeks,
grandiose trees shed umber morning dress
mackerel skies on fire behind mountain peaks 
reflected in slow running pumpkin creeks,
from long hot humid days to long dark nights
we will now enjoy all autumns delights,

sweet fresh smells in morning amber half light
farmers harvesting cinnamon ripe wheat
migrating birds gather to take long flight,
summer, winter, is autumn bittersweet,
ginger tinged petals of sweet marguerite 
bathed in bright glorious saffron sunlight, 
autumn brings new beginnings and pleasure 
beautiful sights, memories we treasure.

Composed 2nd October 2017.
