Notes About The Poem

poem written based upon this image--on online poetry class assignment

Autumn's Window

autumn leaves scatter across the sill,
their colors soft as brushed velvet~
russet, gold, and a whisper of fading green
that still remembers summer. 

a small breath of steam unfurls from a cup,
steeped with cinnamon and leaf-soft calm,
settling lightly over the open book.

outside, amber leaves drift and circle
before touching the clear stream,
each one landing with the gentlest sigh~

the whole season has paused
allowing you to rest within its tranquility.
