One Autumn Night

Sky turns red as the sun sets on an Autumn evening
Night comes bringing in a slight chill
I see the ruddy moon leaning over a hedge
Like a red-faced farmer
Crisp fall air sets the night
Changed-color leaves' song roars
Round about are the wistful stars.

DR RAM, it's an honor having your poem on my winning list. Congratulations on your win in my Autumn Night's contest. A blessing it is to be back.

Your use of metaphors makes this one special. Most of what i write reflects death and decay but through poets such as you, I have realized that there is so much beauty in poetry and in nature! Thank you for your kind comments on my poem winning "Any 5 line Poem" by Poet Destroyer.
