Connie Marcum Wong Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Beautiful Fall

BEAUTIFUL FALL

Blowing winds usher in colorful fall's parade
Elusive as a butterfly on the wing in an
Atmosphere that changes everything.
Uniting leaves to depart from their boughs,
Trees dressed in scarlet, gold, orange and brown
Inflight, twirl and dance their way toward ground
Filling eyes with such breathless imagery
Until the last leaf has retired to rest
Leaving bare trees to welcome snowdrifts.

Fall arrayed in hues to warm us from her chill
Always gives us grace from summer heat
Loveliest season of the year when
Lovers rejoice in the poetic beauty of it all.

Your entry is lovely and you did well with the acrostic format which is so difficult. May this day find you well.

Silent One September 11, 2018 at 8:55 AM Beautiful lines portraying wonderful imagery.... Finished perfectly.. Connie Marcum Wong September 11, 2018 at 1:56 PM Wow, thank you Silent.

Paul Callus September 10, 2018 at 4:08 PM Autumn is ideal for inspiration, Connie, and you take full advantage of that fact! Your poem delights with imagery and a sprinkling of romantic glitter. ~ Warm regards // paul Connie Marcum Wong September 11, 2018 at 2:01 PM Thank you Paul. I have been so busy with the granddaughters who are out of school right now, and working on ancestry, that I have not had much time for poetry. I need to have two of me to get everything I want done. : )

Lindsay Laurie September 9, 2018 at 9:23 PM Hello Connie … a lovely picturesque poem giving me the feeling I'm there amongst bedtime for the northern hemisphere while here green buds and blooms are bursting into an awakening - thank you Connie - Lindsay Connie Marcum Wong September 11, 2018 at 2:03 PM I used to love enjoying to autumns per year when I flew down under. I always had to keep my closet filled with warm clothing even in summer. Thank you for always leaving such wonderful comments Lindsay. xxoo

Caren Krutsinger September 9, 2018 at 2:43 AM Your imagery is popping off the page as if painted on by an artistic hand. "inflight, twirl, and dance their way toward the ground." What a perfectly written line. Good luck in the contest, Connie.

Viv Wigley September 9, 2018 at 1:35 AM How beautiful, Connie, yes I revel in this time since it is so fleeting, decaying with the passing day. Makes one appreciate beauty and its fragility. Lovely write. Viv

Susan Ashley September 8, 2018 at 10:39 PM I was enchanted with the beauty of your Fall poem, Connie. Your autumn imagery is breathtaking, but I was especially delighted by a verse of seasonal preview; 'Leaving bare trees to welcome snowdrifts' - a lovely hint of wintry things to come.. A splendid and enjoyable piece! Warmest wishes always and best wishes for a win, my friend.. ~Susan
