Silent One Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Written for Emile Pinet's The Grandeur of Fall poetry contest.

An English Sonnet with 10 syllables per line.

Grandeur of Fall

Poet's ink portrays wonders so profound,
as the last crimson rose of summer fades,
verdant leaves gently float to soggy ground,
weaving a pattern of saffron, beige shades.

Autumn's theatre parades vibrant hues,
as misty fog covers frozen meadows.
Haunting pastels animate artist's muse.
as poetic palettes splash glowing prose.

Lampposts ignite with cold midnight moonlight,
as snow flakes embrace trees in a white fleece.
Astral blooms inspire the soul to recite
in a rhythmic aesthetic masterpiece.

Lost in the elegance of nature's call,
art is adored in the grandeur of fall.
