~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Swirling through the frostlike air, Hesitating long enough to compare Sunlight’s joy and moon’s gentle stare Whirling through the bitter dawn, Silencing the whispers who feed on… Verdant echoes, descending on the lawn Twirling through the twilight’s embrace, Lending light to the eternal flame’s chase, Evident that these leaves bring gentling grace Curling through the enchanted sun’s serenity, Singing of the falling leaves rustling amenity, Breathing glorious light over the soul’s identity Hurling through the forests and trees, Rhythms of joy, so soft, soundless in the breeze, Laughing and singing, the harvest agrees… Wherever there is the joy of autumn’s light, There is a wonderful, seldom so bright… With the melody of the season, despite darkest night…. Falling leaves bring a perfection that can’t be spoken Caressing the soul with a promise that can’t be broken, Remembering this amazing world where I’ve just awoken… Trembling with the newness, the faith and inspiration Discovered on the wings of hope, the honesty, the elation… All the glory of a world, a season, falling leaves quiet migration

Congratulations on your placement, Gina. Autumn leaves are always a sad thought in my mind, but I took pleasure in seeing them through your eyes.

a beautiful rhyme poem, Gina. Your rhyme scheme is well done and subtle, not distracting from capturing the beauty of the season. The 'quiet migration' is evident even here in Texas whirling through the bitter dawn. Just great imagery....a fav. Enjoy your day, Sara

Breathtaking imagery, Gina. A FAV for me! I especially liked the monorhyme for each verse and the uplifting tone of the final three lines. Thanks for sharing your awesome poetry with us, my friend. Bill
