Colorful Fall

Carnelian and crimsons orchestrate eye music Ornate as orange oboes that blare a fiery woo Loud in the hills, flaring flutes of maroon thrill, Oscillating in burgundy trills of a breezy banjo Red rises in volumes that the silent trees hear, For they farewell warmth, in sun-setting relief, Undulating in vermillion wavelengths an adieu, Lingering long in mellowing yellows, autumnal Free leaves wind-whorl a gold saxophone-puff As apples blush in whistles of a taupe wisteria Looping branches bare-brown in tuned annual Love-fest festooned in earthen melody eternal (9/14/18)

Back for another read. So many exceptional word combinations that grasp timely prints of fall. "Free leaves ... a gold saxophone-puff" - strong, memorable image. Congratulations on a superb write! Brian

The first thoughts that came to my mind were this is so outstanding and then I glanced down at read Andrea‘s comment and saw we both feel the same about your gorgeous acrostic. I am putting this into my faves Susan! Autumn sings its own arrival in whispers of the wind. Beautiful! I hope this is a top winner for you. Blessings xxoo
