Glimpses of Autumn

Horizon imprints blazing joy, where autumn blushes amber sky Glistening meadows of gilded season, adorning tinted russet dye As amethyst winds of eventide flutter leaves on crimson trees Flickering rays of golden twilight, glinting sigh of ochre breeze. Pleasing sights, saffron colors merrily bounce, staging air-dance Whirling leaves in panoramic vistas, hypnotizing glance of romance As fiery gamboge hills oscillate, waltzing tenor of autumnal zeal Dazzling lovers’ enchanted hearts in maple tree’s scarlet appeal. Cooler weather permeates, graying charm of shortened days, While browsing prairies of browning fields, cattle lazily graze; Families gather sharing stories, crowding around warm fireplace As festive season ushers in, serenading divinity of solemn grace.

I agree with Paul. Your poem recollects the style and imagery of the British Romantic Period. It flows beautifully with perfect rhyme, Vijay. Surely a winner in the contest and a fave for me. You are one of my favorite writers, right up there with the likes of Keats and Dickinson. Hugs, Carolyn
