Connie Marcum Wong Poet Free verse

Autumn's Arrival

Enjoy the golden harvest moon
That will escape the sky too soon
As autumn's colors fade away.
Listen to the breeze rustle through
The changing trees as bird songs
Echo through the twilight sky.
I am blissfully aware of how
Jasmine scents the evening air         
And joyfully I welcome fall.

Charlotte Puddifoot September 19, 2015 at 10:23 AM this is a delightful blending of the three required senses; these contests of nette's are interesting and have produced some lovely poems, this being one of them (just a heads up, 4th line should be 'rustle' - nette likes correct spelling!) good luck in the contest :) Connie Marcum Wong September 19, 2015 at 1:15 PM Thank you thank you thank you Charlotte. My kindle auto corrects or changes so many words and I often miss the typo's. I really appreciate you letting me know in time. I will change it right now. Thank you for your kind words too. Hugs, Connie

Our senses are tickled, in a pleasant way. ~ I'm looking forward to some cool temperatures; we've had a very hot summer. Hugs // paul Connie Marcum Wong September 21, 2015 at 3:01 AM Thank you very much Paul. California is getting our rain and they really need it. It rained a lot here last week, heavy, and we had some flash flood warnings. I live on a hill so we were fine. Autumn is my favorite season so I am delighted with cooler temperatures coming our way. Here's to cool weather my friend! Cheers, Connie

Andrea Dietrich September 18, 2015 at 1:26 PM So nice,Connie. You captured FALL beautifully! Connie Marcum Wong September 21, 2015 at 3:05 AM Thank you Andrea. You know how much I adore autumn!

Demetrios Trifiatis September 18, 2015 at 1:07 PM A reason that I love fall is to get rid of summer's hit that this year was( and is in the low thirties) between 35-40 Celsius. We still wait the arrival of Fall. Fortunately your beautiful poem brought the awaiting coolness. Loved your poem, dear Connie! Good luck in the contest! Connie Marcum Wong September 21, 2015 at 3:06 AM I too love the cooler weather, the rain and autumn's beauty. I hope it cools off soon for you. Blessings, Connie

Cona Adams September 18, 2015 at 12:24 PM I've always loved Spring best, but Autumn spins a close race. Then, there's the beauty of snow. Guess I'm just glad we can enjoy all the seasons. Love your poem. Good luck in the contest. Connie Marcum Wong September 21, 2015 at 3:09 AM I do enjoy spring too Cona but I know that here in Hawaii summer arrives around April and lasts through late October so I enjoy autumn most. Thanks for commenting Cona. Nice to touch base with you again. I always enjoy your poetry. Cheers, Connie
