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.. ~}{~ By Tracie x For Autumn Splendor Poetry Contest

Love the ironic contrast in the last few lines. The colorful blanket on the ground shrouding a denuded crown overhead. Look forward to reading mord of your messmerizing poems!

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.

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

wow, I love how colorful this one is, Tracie! It's great seeing you here. It seems like ages I have caught one of your poems since I don't go often to the new poems list. This one should do very well in the Autumn splendor contest
