Avenues of Autumn Turn

Grassy verged mounds
On a country roadside grace
Where a canopy of browns
Declare autumn in place
 
The branches rise
While winter nears
As if they were praising the sun
Allaying their fears
 
For after their fall
Another colour may grace
In crystal form
And the lands will embrace
 
The whitening ices
Grounds barren to white
Crisp starry skies
Like sparkling lights
 
With a flick of her switch
She turn spring on
As the buds appear
Singing a totally new song
 
Through the bright months they grow
As the temperature warms
Natures miracles
In all shapes and forms
 
Our smiles get wider
As the summer blooms
Fragrances aplenty
Like scented perfumes
 
And here we are
It's autumn again
The seasons like great symphonies
Always proud and replaying

Good Autumn morning, Highlander, (What time is it there? 6:30 AM here on North America's East Coast.) Nature's symphonies are magnificent. This poem is a delightful way to end a restless night and begin a new day. God Bless you, James. Lovingly, Dane

The crystalized branches of winter always seem like a wonderland. Indeed, the seasons are playing and replaying "like great symphonies." Excellent imagery and a sense of the passage of time and its impact on all of us. Wonderful write, James! Love you! Carolyn

Very descriptive writing. I like the last stanza third line especially. Keep writing. Sara
