Autumn's Auburn Rustic Dust

AUTUMN'S AUBURN RUSTIC DUST

When with closed eyes in Autumn's eves of gold,
She breathes in the blades of orange-yellow,
Looking for that 'something' called auburn rust,
Halting mid suntanned trees hundred years old..

Who is like her, amiable yet bold?
Tenderly she walks on slivers of brown,
Silently searching through caramel paths,
Out there with the rustling leaves hundredfold..

What in the crimson world does she behold?
Slowly, she slows her slow sleepy saunter,
Carbuncle foliage unveils her face - 
Jocund with an extra mile smile unrolled..

Wherefore does it shower russet-brown mould?
See, she has found her Autumn dust mellow,
Yippee! How she jumps now with joy untold!

Just gorgeous (I chose the same quote) and I adored the "caramel" paths.

Jo, does this describe you or someone you know? I like her, amiable yet bold! Love all your forest imagery, your rhymes, you alliterative line 10, your "extra mile smile", and the anticipation that builds until the exuberant finale! Wonderful poetry ~ John
