Reverie of Roses

when last rays of autumn - tip toe along to sunset streaked reveries listen to the crisp breeze of fallen fairies - truth floats through tawny tunes whilst crickets chirp - lulling grieving trees - silhouette of sky bursts in gold a crumpled haven of seraphic swings - whistling wind-swept dreams of brown as twilight bleeds merlot red runes - shifting shades of coral pink clouds weep flurry flakes curve - amidst a deep labyrinth of chamomile silence butterflies rest upon rain rinsed roses - exhaling brisk balmy blues timeless tales of forgotten tulips - yet between dusk and dawn faith thrives and frost-kissed hope - swiftly turns a new leaf - feathered with crystal belief but - if to love your moon is madness - let stars fade into cosmic dust

I must say that this is one of my most fav poems from you! Sequined with magical visions, impeccable imageries and resplendent colours, gosh, this made my heart skip many beats ~ I'm swooning over the mystical cadence that it created, almost can be recited like a love-filled spell.. So charismatic!!! "tip toe along to sunset streaked reveries", "listen to the crisp breeze of fallen fairies - truth floats through tawny tunes" How you've used alliteration too, within these stunning monoku poems!

"a crumpled haven of seraphic swings - whistling wind-swept dreams of brown", "flurry flakes ", "chamomile silence" Ah, and all those colours, seriously glorious! I am now realising that I'm quoting the whole poem here, lol! "butterflies rest upon rain rinsed roses -" Bless me more with your spellbinding words!! This is honestly a masterpiece poem, whole of this is my Favorite! And that ending line.. Made me go wow! There couldn't have been a better finale than that for this poem..

Dear Ink, This poem is a work of art, replete with vivid details that are almost too many to list. The magical changes of fall are captured well, creating an invigorating mood.

Now these are amazing monokus... you have really out done yourself with these.. each one with their own unique imagery and an excellent use of vocabulary..You create vivid imagery in each one... and it takes the reader on a lovely, pleasant journey descripting the image of autumn.. My favourite is, flurry flakes curve - amidst a deep labyrinth of chamomile silence
