Notes About The Poem

"Fall Splendour" Poetry Contest

Third Place

Fall Splendour

Summer's excitement over, veiled Fall tiptoes softly
tantalizing, with aroma of golden sunshine,
decoupage of leaves - cerise, tangerine, crimson-red
a riot of colours on bountiful maple and playful pine!

whimsical season filling hearts in euphoric delight,
I see dreams of my zestful youth in soaring leaves
swooshing, floating, drifting around, often fluttering,
few sprawled on the ground summer's dreams weave.

one last rose beaming, present final dance of a ballerina,
jinias glimmering with streaks of light in golden breeze,
merciless wind will soon blow away their enchanting stories,
before they leave, witness fall splendour in the grandiose trees.

a rare painting by nature, pageant sure to win,
beauty of a fairyland, in soothing cascade of light,
Autumnal grandeur softly envelopes summer's beauty
Nature and it's endless gifts, behold a gorgeous sight!

Dear Mala this is a stunning autumn fall poem with exquisite lines. The imagery is so breathtakingly vivid that it draws the reader in to all the splendour that the gorgeous season brings. ‘decoupage of leaves - cerise, tangerine, crimson - red’ jinias glimmering with streaks of light in golden breeze’. Heavenly! So enchantingly penned and delightful. This is a clear fav for me dear Mala. Thank you. Hugs and smiles :):)

Hello Malabika Choudhury, I think that summer in Canada is more beautiful than autumn over there, very cold north place! Enjoyed read! Yet, I saw wonderful photos of autumns and winters in Canada. Best regards and wishes, AA

Thank you for reading my poem. Yes, you are right - Canada is a very cold country. But summer is wonderful, and Autumn too, until winter begins in December. Four months of winter, December to March, is very harsh. But again, Fall is spectacular in the region where I live!
