Autumn's Final Bow

On leaf strewn woodland floors, Autumn's raiments lie. Adorning where they quietly fell, From grey autumnal skies. A pale sun, now weak and low As autumn winds gust and blow, Frenetic bursts of swirling leaves, Dance amongst the naked trees. Silent are the woods, Readying for winter now. To sleep, through the long cold days As autumn takes her final bow.

I am a seasonal poem fan, I write them and I read any I find penned by other poets. This one by you was beautifully written and described the season so well. I especially liked your use of the word raiments meaning falling leaves. Novel thinking.

really nicely done. I could see this scene clearly which was welcomed because we don't really have an autumn where I live. Thank you for your beautiful poem.
