Fall Farewell

Coral, crimson, copper,
Wine, maroon and amber-
I radiate a riot of colors
Born of life’s fervent flavors.

Laying my bosom bare
To the cool, crisp air,
I let my leaves depart
In rhythm with divine art.

Gliding, twisting, twirling 
To notes of farewell morning,
My relics come to rest on ground
And aid in life’s turnaround.

I begin to breathe in grace
Transcending time and space,
As I prepare for the season
Of death and decay on horizon.

Dear Harpreet, your striking imagery captures the transition of Fall, with its "riot of colors" and "gliding, twisting, twirling" leaves, with lovely elegance. I have always embraced and favored the great beauty of the Fall season. A rich personification of Autumn, my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Harpeet, congratulations on you win this very inventive poem written from autumn's perspective. Not only is it visual but it is highly sensory with "cool, crisp air." Wonderfully blended elements of fall. All the best!
