- Chameleon Autumn -

                               Autumn's beautiful changes
                                       - radiance glows
                                 carved out of the rainbow
                              The chameleon adjusts the colors
                                  - the display is magnificent

                             The thirst that rises from the soul
                          long drink glass with ice cubes and fruit
                                     - autumn's honey breath
                                  Exploring multiple dimensions
                               Beauty is meant to be appreciated
                                         in trusting kisses

                                     My queen, at her death
                          you were a momentary ornament in gold
                                         - affection gracious
                                 Shadow of the chameleon grows
                       In the faults of the earth the last act is shown
                           with a soft voice that caresses your ears
                     Every stormy night, she rests in the earth's temple

I always love to hear such melodious poems read by the computer. Phrases of high calibre are many. I need not repeat them. Just end by saying your poem is a rhapsody of sound. Blessings and hugs.
