Daniel Turner Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Painting Autumn

October brings us panoramic scenes
Picassoesque impressionistic style
From reds to browns and earth tones in between
When nature paints those landscapes that beguile

The helpful sun provides hot yellow paint
Which bleeds and blends from mountains to the seas
There are no signs that nature shows restraint
As hues are scattered by the autumn breeze

Yet with her madness comes a masterpiece
The reason for spring's jealousy of green
Before her creativity has ceased
Her orange and black spills on Halloween

October means peace, love, and harmony
Get with your friends, enjoy fall's scenery

Paloma P October 7, 2016 at 11:43 AM Lush brushstrokes upon your page make for the most exquisite and entertaining poetry. Daniel Turner October 7, 2016 at 12:29 PM Thank you, Paloma. Very flattering comments. I appreciate your kindness but I am without ego. However, like any old man, I do like to flirt:)

Carole Duet October 6, 2016 at 9:04 PM "When nature paints those still-life's that beguile"...I love that line (even though they are not considered "still lifes"; they are called landscapes). I recently painted an autumn scene that I bet you would like. Hope you are well, Daniel. Daniel Turner October 7, 2016 at 12:27 PM Thank you, Carole. I see I'm going to have to start letting you grade my paper before I submit it to the public:) You are a dear! I appreciate your kind comments and hope you are well. Carole Duet October 6, 2016 at 9:08 PM P,S., I meant to tell you: Congratulations on your win too. So very well deserved.

Were I to "get the big head" I would try to write a book. Not gonna happen! Poetry is fun! The best part is...the friends like you:)

Sara Kendrick October 4, 2016 at 5:52 PM Autumn is a beautiful season when the weather is just right to turn the leaves the right shades..Sometimes it is so dry here that the leaves just turn brown..I enjoyed reading your work..Thanks for stopping by..Sara Daniel Turner October 5, 2016 at 6:53 AM Yes, the summer heat takes it's toll on us.

Joanna Daniel October 4, 2016 at 9:12 AM I sure rue the fact that we don't get to see such beautiful scenery here in our place:( but your poem has fulfilled that thirst, thank you, Daniel:) Daniel Turner October 4, 2016 at 9:37 AM Thank you, Jo. It seems at times, for those of us who do, we tend to take it for granted that everyone gets to enjoy the rich colors of our autumns. It's always my pleasure when you drop by. Thank you for sharing your smile.

Nette Onclaud October 4, 2016 at 9:10 AM vivid picture of autumn, daniel.. you are setting a record as a sonneteer.. enjoyed your autumn view.. huggs Daniel Turner October 4, 2016 at 9:34 AM Funny you should say that, nette. When I decided to learn how to write a sonnet, i thought it would be something I could do rather quickly. I suppose it's the perfectionist in me. I keep trying and trying to find the right words for the perfect sonnet. Thank you for your patient support:)

Probir Gupta October 4, 2016 at 7:25 AM A rich blend of finest poetry and painting ... Very enchanting ... Daniel Turner October 4, 2016 at 8:05 AM Thank you, Probir. You are so kind. I really appreciate your support. Is it autumn in Malta? Isn't that where you live? Do you get colors like this?

Connie Marcum Wong October 4, 2016 at 1:12 AM This is a breathtaking sonnet Danny. The kind of imagery that makes you feel like you are right in the middle of the scenery. You are indeed an artist my friend. This is a very beautiful autumn poem! A fave for me! 7 ; ) Daniel Turner October 4, 2016 at 8:00 AM Thank you, Mrs Connie. Such kind comments:) I appreciate your time and support. I love the autumn colors. I live with a mountain, out my backdoor, covered with trees. I love when the clouds are laying down on top, the coolness and the quiet. That's when the mind travels!
