Nova S. Blair flaming torches quote on white background over vivid autumn landscape.

“As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.” — Vincent van Gogh Colorful are the days of autumn, especially in October when I see all around – gold, brown, red, and yellow fluttering on tree limbs. It’s a jubilee. A jubilee to celebrate fall’s season! The mountains are awash with brightest hues. People sight-see, driving on Canyon Road. I go there too, for it inspires my muse. Fall’s nostalgia also washes over me. Oh, to see orange pumpkins everywhere. Multi-colors will invade the streets in the form of costumes that trick-or-treaters wear. Skies of blue and grass remaining green well through mid-fall are candy for the eyes. Twilight time might show the sky persimmon or violet and pink – the colors I most prize!

Andrea, your words painted a lovely mental picture. "Multi-colors will invade the streets." I love walking through colored leaves, kicking the laves in the air. Brings out the child in me. Congrats my friend!

"Skies of blue and grass remaining green well through mid-fall are candy for the eyes. Twilight time might show the sky persimmon or violet and pink – the colors I most prize!" -- lovely writing. Now whenever I want, vivid extended enjoyment of Autumn, I simply pour a nice glass of wine...and reread your lovely poem. Thank you for sharing.

Van Gogh had a brilliant idea in that line for sure. I, as well, enjoy the colors of Autumn and mostly the cooler air, but then the allergies not so much. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Reads like a good contender for a contest if it is. Your visits to my page are encouraging. Sara

The autumn has vivid and contrasting colors on mountains and valleys. Trampling fallen maple leaves make me feel guilty. Nce poem.

So many scenes from autumn, especially the pumpkins. They remind me of soups, etched lanterns and Halloween. Lovely poem.
