Autumnal Visions

As Autumn exhibits seasonal changes that abound Undeniable is the glorious beauty that can be found Tree foliage is a burnished canopy, gilded by the sun Upon the land, there is harvesting work to be done Mother Nature ripens fields, crops of yellow maize North winds begin to blow, and shortened are days Autumn paints with colors of rust, crimson and gold Lovely are hills of maple and birch, visions to behold Vagabond avian fly south, in need of warmer weather I am in awe of their formation as they flock together September stirs my soul with picturesque perfection Inspiring me for the next month with rapt reflection October, harbinger of Halloween ghosts and treats Nights for dancing beneath the stars on city streets Splendid vistas of Fall are culpable for my heart beats September 27, 2021 Autumn Acrostic Poetry Contest Sponsored by Caren Krutsinger
