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. 10-1-21 Contest: Autumn Acrostic Sponsor: Caren Krutsinger

Like you I love this season and the nighttime autumn sky - so many wonderful, easily identifiable constellations. Thank you for your message Michelle. I am so glad this acrostic was able to pick up on that autumnal feeling awaiting the return of Orion. Blessings!

Beautiful imagery and a delightful choice of words, Sam. Autumn's stars, when not hidden by clouds, offer lots of inspiration. ~ Regards // paul
