Beautiful Fall

BEAUTIFUL FALL

Brisk the breeze that shivers the pines,
Excites the mind, in throes of daydreams,
About escaping from the tests — that litter of
Untimely pop quizzes of consequence.
Thrust the football — enervate the bleachers!
Irradiate the touchdown of the student body cheeks.
Freeze the lament of leaves in joyous hue!
Unfasten the laces of maple and oak hairdos.
Loosen the season’s best gourds and wild relief.

Fall into the raked leaves of Autumnal bliss,  the
Allspice of uniforms and costumes, the vainglorious 
Lift — running down the padded field and making passes.
Learned in school - the beautiful charm of Fall.

Your poem is innovative, captivating, and three dimensional in character. A festive journey through the wilds of fall, filled with thoughts designed to inspire the heart and most of all to honor the beauty and pageantry of Autumn. Emile.
