Fall Bouquets

When Autumn marks its equinox
And Fall steps in to take its spot

With harvest hues in rich arrays
Bursting out in bold displays

Of red and yellow, gold bouquets
And tawny fields of amber waves

To warm the hill, the home, the hearth
To warm the love of loving hearts –

Then you shall know the day’s delight
From dawn to dusk – October’s light

Like flowers blooming to bouquets
Will cast its golden glow your way

To bless the day that has begun
To bless your day and days to come –

This is such a wonderful, creative Autumn poem John and I love the title. So many wonderfully poetic couplets. The imagery is exquisite.’ Of red and yellow, gold bouquets’, ‘And tawny fields of amber waves’.Glorious! The ending couplet concludes the poem so well. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. :)
