Seasonal Joy

We say adieu to a cornucopia 
of pleasure provided by our summer
on our travels to find natures utopia
expectations that fall will be a stunner 
beautiful sights to enjoy and discover,

With crops harvested, land replenished 
fertilized and rewarded with freshness 
landscapes of beauty that’s unblemished 
trees of autumnal colors of such richness
feelings of freedom, time to be reckless,

wonderful season of fall, atmospheric 
crimson mackerel skies, full harvest moon
northern lights, aurora creating magic
northern winds playing cool haunting tune
low sun reflecting on ripple less lagoon,

every wonderful season has its beauty
some historical memories to recall
fall encourages nature to be unruly 
sending out a stern message to us all
embrace this great season, our beautiful fall.

Susan Ashley Date: 10/14/2018 9:10:00 PM Roy, your gorgeous imagery and rhymes capture the spirit of Autumn so beautifully.. I especially loved; 'fall encourages nature to be unruly' - such an awesome foreshadowing of the stormy fall and winter weather to come. Brilliant and delightful poetry! Best wishes for a win and my warmest wishes to you my friend.. ~Susan Login to Reply
