Notes About The Poem

Renowned Artist

While walking this morning I met the renowned artist; Fall
He had dressed the sidewalks and streets with his outstanding pieces of art 
Thrilled by the cold nights he appeared to be working hard 
Turning so many leaves into vibrant blossoms before letting them fall off

Colors he chose were varied in shades
Greens were changing into multiple tones of red
Little speckles of auburn he had dusted at some of their tip ends 
On some he had carefully painted greenish yellow tinged veins

For some he had chosen a gorgeous silky yellow
Some were showing off their attractive peachy red glow
A few were embellished with pigments of color purple
Base was painted orange for some with a hint of blond marvel 

Numerous outstanding shades and outlines of brown he had displayed
Trees were pulsating with golden red radiance he had spread 
He also had carefully used magenta and blue on some
Making the prominent textures and outlines of the leaves evident

Wind was blowing hard making amusing sound 
Playing chase with the crunchy leaves Fall had scattered on the ground
As usual Mother Nature had me in awe showing her yet another character
She managed to bring a huge smile to me while describing her arty nature

Absolutely beautiful. I love the creative theme to this with Autumn as the artist working for Mother Nature. I loved this.

I always portray Fall as a woman, so it's interesting to see your poem showing Fall as a "He" Great colorful imagery here, Smita, as well as personification.

I know Andrea! When the poem came to me I was surprised too that I was calling Fall a "He". It just fit perfectly. Thanks for visiting and commenting!

You are the Artist, Smita! Painting with your adept brush the charm of Autumn! Choose a most expensive diction to render the unique colours of so fascinating a Fall! How inspiring Nature is! How perceptive is your sensitive and poetic feel is to offer your reader a wonderful read! A great pleasure to see your painting! My deepest regards and blessings.

Mother Nature is surely a sublime artist. Some say life imitates art; with Nature, art imitates life! Nicely penned, Smita. Best wishes, Gershon
