Notes About The Poem
Written 23rd September 2023 - Autumnal Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Sotto Poet
1st placement

 

Autumnal

‘Tis the feathered ballet of the fall that graces the sky for one and all Ornate earthly joy, bird swoops convey on a colourful autumnal day. Singing birdsong as gentle winds blow flocks of warblers fly by to and fro The leaves on trees wave in feisty praise for the joy bestowed on their last days. In twilight when the night is still young nightingales come with songs to be sung These birds fly away after the fall to a warmer place where life’s a ball. Cometh the day withered leaves die softly, softly birds sing goodbye Morosely dancing in airspace splendour of autumnal winged grace.

You seem to have formatted this so beautifully it look so joyful on the page.. lovely lines full of imagery describing Autumn.. people seem to love this season, but for me its the season of death sadly... Loved your poem though my friend.. in twilight the night is still young.. so true.

I just love the changing colours of the trees, though they are beautiful whatever the season. No doubt you’ve reason for the fall to be the season of death to you. Thank you for the kind words in review of this poem… Belle
