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. Contest Autumn rhyme royal. sponsored by Dale Gregory Cozart.
