Notes About The Poem

Thanks Nette for the inspiration. I wrote it too late to enter. Fall is my Muse.

 

Forest Muse

Autumn is near ......a wild unbroken spirit
slumbers in the wind
Countless leaves tremble 
ready to tumble 
in ragged disarray,   
 Radiant light gathers
 spreads it's  amber glow 

at a silent signal - 
forest treasures flow
leaf gold confetti in 
unfettered  flight.

Sotto Poet August 22, 2025 at 7:29 AM Such charming musings linger, resonating with a truth profound, perspectives shaped with care, like whispers in the woods,  dear Suz. Congrats on your POTD. Truly earned, as the sun must rise to greet the day. Suzanne Delaney August 22, 2025 at 2:59 PM Thanks dear Sotto. Your kind words are so encouraging.

Jeanette Swan August 22, 2025 at 6:51 AM lovely! The opposite seasons for Aus. It must have been a surprise for the first northern travellers to Southern lands to find the seasons different. That 'silent signal' is mysterious like the mass coral spawning - only this is a falling. J :) Suzanne Delaney August 22, 2025 at 2:58 PM Yes, Jeanette: Now that we have the internet there are very few things to surprise us except perhaps in nature which surprises us endlessly.
