Notes About The Poem

AUTUMN WHISPERS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autumn whispers, leaves descend in sighs,
Cracked cups of oak, a harvest left behind.
Ochre hued landscapes, hope buried in the ground.
Remnants of summer, a fractured fading. 
Nature's bounty, now scattered on the breeze,
Silent promise, of what is yet to be.

Sotto Poet September 18, 2025 at 7:21 AM Poetically, your writing is eerily beautiful, dear Sara. Vivid and textured imagery abounds, and the last sentence evokes a subtle sense of expectation.
