Autumn's Tryst

Falling leaves dance their last waltz Ravishing hues of reds oranges and golds Indulge with me in this wonderland Sacrificing reminiscences of summer fun Kingdom to those who relish in the moment Yearning to be one with life in all its glory Absolute bliss as we walk hand in hand Utterly at peace with the brisk autumn air Tantalizing scents of crisp earthiness Ushering in a foretaste of wintry delights Magical brittle notes beneath our feet Nocturnal luminescence flickering Dropping behind not keeping the pace Apology for sudden awkward clumsiness Zealously choreographing maneuvers Engagement ring in hand down on one knee AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on March 27, 2020 for contest STRAND CHOICE S sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 3RD September 13, 2018 for contest COLORFUL FALL sponsored by NAYDA IVETTE NEGRON and on September 19, 2017 for contest ACROSTIC ABOUT FALL sponsored by JANICE CANERDY
