Quote Chosen: Foliage Of Farewell

Ode to Autumn, the Enchantress

Encircled by dainty petite waltzing flowers, 
listening to their soft whispers to the bees
and butterflies, my summer days were ecstatic,
eyes felt alive with vibrant colours,
my heart felt vivacious with the sonata of nature.  

It's time now to bid adieu to warm days, 
with a spirited foliage of farewell, tiptoeing in
a veiled bride with crimson, magenta, amber…
whirling, swirling, twirling whimsical leaves 
trees are decorated with, and some
sprawled creating a velvety tapestry 
under the soon-to-be bare branches, 
no less gorgeous than the glorious flowers 
ravishingly stunning, and exquisitely opulent, 
enchanting human senses, hearts and souls
erasing their bleakness and melancholy. 

O fall, let this poignant lore of love wrap my imagination
forever with a faint aura of sublime feelings,
I glide through the season with an ethereal sensation,
My existence transcends into a rare celestial experience.

Hello Mala, so good to see you. I hope all is well with you. Autumn is such a beautiful season when the leaves turn colour. I was surprise3d to see a leaf turn red in the muddle of Aug. Hugs. /Darlene/

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly
