Autumn's Amber Breath CM

Lento Soup - 9-1-26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autumn's Amber Breath

Sweet autumn's amber breath completes
Bittersweet's return, upbeat
Among the aster, so far flung,
Unsung glory in her harvest tongue.

On golden seas of sunflower swans
Dawn's soft sighs ripple, like chiffon
In rhythmic waves fall's silver grin
Spins the scarlet season's love-in.

Autumn's beauty can't be celebrated in better terms. I know the amber breath of Autumn is about to fall on you very soon. I am in love with this scarlet season. Though we don't have it here, I have enjoyed its beauty on a visit to the US some years back. "Dawn's soft sighs ripple, like chiffon In rhythmic waves fall's silver grin Spins the scarlet season's love-in." Lovely conclusion to your beautiful poem. Sending you love dear Sam.

Sara, thank you! Autumn, often, does leave me breathless. I keep thinking only our wonderfully crazy God would think to turn a green leaf orange! Blessings and hugs.😊

This gets a WOW, the highest response that builds within me. Where the rhymes are placed and the smoothness they pull off simply thrilled me. This reminds me of a sculptor starting with a slab that he chisels, chisels and chisels again all over again until before his eyes, there is beauty.

Hi Nette! What wonderful feedback! Thank you! Even with the short days, appearance of frost and leaves getting ready to fall, Fall has always touched something deeply inspiring in me. And, yes, it does "glow!" Sending you glowing autumn blessings!
