Fashionable Fall

Fashionable Fall flaunts her lustrous leaves, catwalks flowing flora with earnest ease. Haunting lullabies from the quaking trees cast chilling currents from mountain to keys. Dancing diamonds of glistening glow show skies with promise of soon-to-be snow. Sunrises and sunsets are a fireworks show scattering the stars like dice in a throw. Gowns of complementary colors trace ribboned harvest fields at riotous pace. Swirling with natural, elegant grace, her glamor failing and fast losing face. Tattered trees largely stripped bare of their clothes leave a psychedelic pathway that flows. With each rowdy breeze, it gustily blows, and turns pale snozzle to a reddened nose. With stinging, shallow breath and crimson cheeks embrace lacy lakes and mountains’ paling peaks till Winter steals through Fall and solemnly seeks favor for upcoming ice-hearted weeks.

Hi Maria. We seldom have snow where I live, at least not snow that is feet-deep. It melts quickly here as well. Ice and freezing temps seem to be the norm. LOL Thanks for your kind comments! :)

I love the alliteration in your poem, Linda. Your rhyme scheme is perfect yet not distracting or forced. I liked how you see fall as fashionable. I'll remember that the next time I'm out observing fall in our neighborhood. Well done! Sara
