Autumn's Arrival

Autumn's Arrival 



      Leaves radiate vivid colors beautifying elms mesmerizing dubious eyes

      Seized out of wooden closets woolen sweaters and scarfs would suffice

      Warm breezes bade goodbye to an impending avalanche of glacial chill

      Nights endure longer as stars paint panoramic scenes in silken vermeil


      Stoking tinder in campfires country bumpkins imbibe whiskey and rum

      Driver sporting Victorian gear embark on a horse and buggy tryout run

      City dwellers undermine tourists upending stores plowing for a bargain

      Autumn awaiting raindrops summon the skies to rain upon a mountain

Marikate Kingston Date: 12/7/2023 6:30:00 PM Oh, don't you love the fall, the breeze, colors and all? I can tell you do. I lived in Vermont for a few years between living outside New York City. Your 3rd line of your second stanza made me think of this time. My favorite line though is the last one in your 1st stanza. What a beautiful picture it would be to paint. Mmmm..dreamy.

The inevitable change of season is beautifully described in splendid words, Anselmo. Login to Reply Anselmo Boles Date: 12/24/2021 12:57:00 PM Thank you for voicing your interpretation Valsa!...ab

Lindsay Laurie Date: 12/9/2021 7:25:00 PM Hello Ansolmo ... autumn is certainly the transition season. Colour changing and a bounty of fruit before the dearth of winter - thanks Ansolmo - Lindsay Login to Reply Anselmo Boles Date: 12/10/2021 10:28:00 AM Hi Lindsay, thanks for the visit and comment. Yes, the trees here in Florida are losing their leaves and the temperature has now chilled. Winter has arrived...anselmo

Thanks, Gershon Login to Reply Anselmo Boles Date: 10/28/2021 7:45:00 PM You're too kind G.W! It's truly humbling to get positive, inspiring comments from you. Shalom...ab
