Thrush Painting, Fine Arts of America

nothing is more beautiful than a forest in Fall_ the trees with a burnt orange and red blush oh, listen to the haunting songs of the thrush and squirrels dash wild and then slowly crawl and each leaf is painted with an artist's brush the streams are flowing over rocks with a rush and the wildflowers though weak still sprawl now, I stand and listen to each lovely bird call _ there is a peace in Fall that brings joy where violins of the forest are beautifully whining yes, this is a seasonal change that I truly enjoy oh, listen as eagles in the sky are screeching and in trees song birds are woven in the tapestry of Fall's majestic beauty and pageantry ____________________ October 01, 2022 Poetry/Rhyme/oh, listen Copyright Protected, ID 10-1491-518-01 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premiere contest, A Brian Strand Premier Choice sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 10/01/2022 Submitted to the Premiere contest, 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 16 sponsor, Mark Toney, Judged, 10/13/2022 Ninth Place
