David O'Haolin Whalen Poet Rhyme

Epic Autumn

Golden threads 
of sunlight weaves
A paisley pattern 
through Autumn leaves

Points of light 
splayed upon the ground
Play tag and caper 
without a sound

Capricious days 
Of Autumn play
Upon stage 
of frost and light

In drama writ 
by Nature’s hand
Directed…
With season’s might

Summer’s past, 
now tis Autumn’s time
While Winter waits watching
in the wings

Drama played 
in fen and glade
While Nature’s 
chorus sings

Falling leaves limned
By the golden sun
The curtain closes
The show is done

A spectacle of epic proportions
Starring the spectacular trees
with a supporting cast of millions
…Of artistic, autumn leaves…

Carol Sunshine Brown October 25, 2012 at 12:07 PM Sorry for being late reading your excellent poetry David. I enjoyed reading it today. I wish I could keep up with all the poets here but I can't. Thank you for sharing your writing with us. Love, Carol David O'Haolin Whalen October 28, 2012 at 4:27 PM Thanks carol. I've been writing too much and not reading enough. So expect to hear from me in the near future.

David O'Haolin Whalen October 28, 2012 at 4:31 PM Thanks Karissa, I intend to start reading more and writing less for a bit, so it's likely you'll hear from me soon.
