Tracy Edwards Poet Free verse

Colours of Autumn

 

~}{~

A soft breeze blows
Just enough to feel it upon your face
A brand new season has just begun
A season full of colours..
The sky crystal blue 
Lush green grass sparkles in the morning dew 
Crisp falling leaves ablaze earthy sienna and browns 
Deep red and ochre so ambrosial
Blanket the ground in amber and russet shades
Leaving trees naked to the cool winds..

Andrea Dietrich September 16, 2012 at 9:39 AM tracie, I was thinking the autumns in your part of the world were like springtime is here. WEre you doing this from the point of view of an american fall, for example? I'm just really curious. Anyway, this was a BEAUTY and I was happy to be able to read it as go down the winners' list finally. I just rarely see your poetry so I love this! Congratulations on your win.

Elizabeth Wesley August 30, 2012 at 8:36 AM Already I can feel the subtle change, a softening from the strident heat of summer and the tinge starting to change the leaves. This reminds me of the beauty we have to look forward to in my favorite season. Love, Elizabeth - BTW, Soup mail
