Sam Kauffman Poet Acrostic

Autumn Stars

Autumn Stars

Autumn stars mature in the swirling Milky Way, 
Umber, gold and fire of astral leaves
Twirling in the gradual autumnal transition sway
Under falling aster stars born of grace
Missing now the summer song of swan and lyre lays - 
New the frosty Sculptor to crisp nights.

Stellar autumn artistry gathers fruits from galaxy fields
Then rides on Pegasus across the Centauri season
Abundant harvest of astral constellations gleaned yields 
Ripening in celestial orchards of southern autumn’s hiatus -
Soul and Heart nebula bouquets seed Orion revealed.
