Fall Rhapsody

Rhymes in Nine 2 10-11-24 Rhymes checked with www.rhymezone Picture #4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fall Rhapsody Fall rhapsody to BEGIN, TOLD IN scarlet tones, A SERENADE for strings in a PARADE of russet GOLD hues - A JUBILEE for acorns and for oaks in an autumn harvest JAMBOREE. Maple LEAVES BLUSH in SHEAVES of firelight crimson choruses Courtly LOVE sung like minuets OF twilight THRUSH vespers MERRY harmonies of CRANBERRY aria odysseys. Trees FESTOONED in UMBER pantaloons cast off MAROONED melodies Twilight breezes FAN a cinnamon TAN pup in SLUMBER - Orange opus CALLS when fall RECALLS harvest harmony.

Oh, my! This is absolutely gorgeous and very creative my dearest friend Sam. It's so difficult to compose a poem with given words for me but you did it so well aesthetically with ease. I love it a lot and enjoyed. The image is fantastic. A great winning piece for me. Thanks for sharing and best wishes always. God bless you always dearest friend. Hugs

Dearest Len! I am reveling in the beauty of your comments! I will admit the internal rhyme format was a challenge but ultimately so much fun with a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. I loved the picture prompt. There were so many ways to go with it, it was fun to pick the inspiring ones to include. They literally sang to me. Hope you are well. Sending you blessings, dear friend!
