Grandeur of Fall

 

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me
fluttering from the autumn tree."

                                Quote by _Emily Bronte


I love how each majestic tree will grow,
how each season is a moment in time;
and how each grand tree-  her hued colors show,
oh, sparrow's chirrup and on a branch chime.

The dappled leaves a painted veil above,
brimming with song birds singing so happy;
a solitary soul with trees I love,
gathering the gold-  squirrels are snappy.

There is no gloom in the grandeur of Fall,
oh, how the honey breath just reaches out;
but there is decaying of big and small,
on the ground red, gold jewels lay about.

Trees go to sleep to wake eternally;
but they still stand on guard externally.

Christina Bowring November 12, 2023 at 8:28 AM This is such a beautiful autumnal poem dear Constance. Love the title, stunning picture and you’ve also quoted one of my all time favourite classic writers. Such glorious, vivid imagery and many exquisite lines to form this wonderful sonnet, ‘ how each season is a moment in time’ ‘ the dappled leaves a painted veil above’. The volta is beautifully expressed too. Good luck in the contest. So enjoyed reading this as always. Hugs to you xx Constance La France November 12, 2023 at 2:37 PM Christina, thank you so much for the lovely comment, and compliment, and the encouragement, appreciate and blessings
