Autumnless

Wow, Autumn!!!
Through picturesque poetry
I can witness your beauteous grandeur
marked by captivating color-change radiance
showcasing what your Season* graciously performs 
designed by the Almighty Creator.

Oh, Autumn!!!
I can virtually behold your wrought wonders
shining in every hue’s detail 
as glowing leaves of magenta dominate
while boughs of crimson and scarlet sway
midst foliage magnified by maroon shades and orange tints.

Yes, Autumn!!!
Bereft of actual exposure to your marvelous sight
I admit my innocence of your essence
while admiring nature’s revealed pleasure
through your iridescent phenomenon
letting me bask under imaginary florid Fall’s path.

Now, Autumn!!!
Though I yearn for your crisp, chilly breeze
wafting scent of serenity thrill and blissful cheer
my soul is settled, thankful for tropical climate 
offering fellowship warmth and faith ardor these rainy days
vanquishing oppressive blows of humidity.

*Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

My kitchen is decorated in Harvest colors all year long. It is my favorite season. I live in a desert region where we only have a glimpse of fall unless we drive to higher ground :-) I have one tree that drops her leaves, but they are all one color, not the vibrant hues I see in pictures. <3

Beata, I've been to the Philippines and I know there are two seasons: hot and hotter! I can relate to your poem, I live in southern California where there is very little seasonal variation, and sometimes I long for the colored trees, the brisk breeze, and the cool rains. Loved your poem and your scripture reference, congrats on your win. Grace and peace ~ John

Such a creative blending of the theme, scripture and your tropical fall experience. There are so many beautiful images. Congratulations my friend. Sending you blessings of the season!
