Poem of the day on October 1, 2023


 

In depth of woods how autumn dazzles, swirling beauty of ornate décor, Waltzing with ochre hickory, birch; whirling flaxen moods of sycamore, Gracing my view upon blazing foothills, where vistas gamboge scroll, Bedecking maples, swaying rhythms, with fiery red of shimmying knoll. Zephyrs of west rustle demeanor of black tupelo, fluttering leaves gold, Glistening burnt orange of sugar maple, revelers in sundown behold, As remnants of gilded twilight beams, glimmer in purpled afterglow, Weaving motifs of fall in tapestries idyllic, of blushing eventide aglow. Autumn’s grandeur glows, as crisp frost gleams, mellowing overcast days, Where gelid winds shudder trees, foretelling imminent wintry malaise, Meandering with leaves falling gently; carpeting dyed, chromatic meadows, As the arena of fall’s resplendent show, shimmers in elongated shadows. Harvest Moon enamors sights, appealing to fervor of romantic glance, Enthralled watching dance of stars, attuned to tenor of cosmic expanse, Gliding over a charming night, wooing souls glued to autumn’s ruby fire, Flaunting pizazz panoramic~ a farewell of fall-splendor, in cerise attire. Turning life’s pages of albums, treasured memories rekindle seasons past, Thankful for the abundance of goodwill~ heavenly blessings destiny cast; As conversations savor aroma of pumpkin pies; buttery, nutty, apple tarts, Spending time with family, friends; exchanging missives of kindred hearts.
