Graceful Is Autumn

When autumn drifts, the winds blow calm and deep Trees purplish- red flicker while moonbeams peep-- A November twirling its grace , an upsweep Of leaves aloft outlined by rich meadow ’s heap… That silhouettes of evening gently creep Across vibrant horizon, colors sweep Like jewels from mother earth, her blest reap! I gaze in wonder at flowers asleep Dainty they are on a knoll, my eyes weep For bright cycle’s farewell now on a leap— As harsh mist of winter begins to seep. Monorhyme Contest of Shadow Hamilton 5/26/2018

Congrats on your win, Nette, I enjoyed reading this. While the Autumn colors are beautiful, it's always sad to know that the life cycle is coming to a close. John
