Autumn Splendor

With September’s tenure over, October takes charge.
Leaves turn yellow, red, and ochre in colourful surge.
As autumn breeze strongly veers round and blows,
Leaves fall and lie in heaps, rows upon rows.

They go into the making of autumn’s mosaic quilt.
Before they, under our feet, mournfully wilt,
Autumn leaves float and fly like flowers,
Twirling and whirling in the air on breezy hours.

As the air grows crisp and cold day by day,
Autumn is all set to have its powerful sway.
Birds by the riverside one by one will fly away,
Fearing the golden autumn days will never stay.

With so much of beauty and variety in the trees
And an endearing whisper in the blowing breeze,
Autumn is the one season I wholeheartedly hail,
And wish to breathe its air as my last inhale.

This is such a beautiful description of autumn in Rhyme, dear Valsa. In spite of being the Fall, how colourful this season is isn't it?... implying there is beauty even in distress in life. You have created such vivid images of the season. I have never been lucky enough to watch the beauty of this season in full glory.... as I don't get to see that here. I can guess, you might have been able to, as Kerala is known for its lush greenery... Hugs... ~ Ani

You are a poet with a vivid imagination and that is portrayed in your poetry and especially in this one...I really love the rhymes and i can see you really enjoyed writing this one...You captured the essence of Autumn very well.. I have to admit it is not my favourite season.. as I feel it brings death.. but im glad you like it so much. My favourite stanza is the second one as the use of words there really stood out for me.. mosaic quilt is lovely...

Dearest Valsa, how I want to curl up in your autumn, quilt mosaic and let the wonder of autumnal beauty whisper a lullaby of fresh, crisp air! I so love, and am so moved, by the freshness of your poetic expression - "autumn is set to have its powerful sway." Best wishes for the contest, dear friend! Blessings of autumn splendor to you!
