Autumn's Breath

The archway formed of trees was green
It was shade from summer's heat
Splendid archway cover invites
Come love to this retreat

Now the archway hangs in color
Rust, orange, yellow, brown
Drawing home the inhabitants
Come here from bustling town

As filtered sunlight dances there
Leaves aglow bonce with glee
Walk the road slowly in Autumn
Stressed busy life now flee

Autumn arches call come my love
Spend some time in peace~ rest
Let the burgundy surround now
'Pon autumn's road be blessed

How I love this poem having lived in Maine with motley autumn leaves, raking them, playing jumping chidren hiding in leaves, the scent of smelling burn. Yes they come from New York and afar to see the glee of autumn leaves. Nicely done muse of autumn skies come round to color the world before the cold winds of winter. Uplifting, you uplifted me: lifting each other the lightness of our thoughts meld as one. Robert Henry Poulin
