Notes About The Poem

                Not written as a contest entry

September Falls - NFC

Swirling winds waltzed with tumbling golden leaves
Each one torn from limbs by the rustling thieves
Painted scenery, every September
Tinged russet like a smoldering ember
Enchanting, the hues of forests and hills
Mother Nature colors landscapes with frills
Brushed each Autumn, with her artistic hands
Exhibiting beauty across her lands
Rouged, the season as if in crimson blush

Fall's grandeur often arrives with a rush
Apple orchards have ripened for picking
Lasting thirty days, the clock is ticking
Limited is the time and splendor of
September: windswept month I've come to love

A wonderful Acrostic poem for September Lin, the beginning of the most alluring time of the year… Beryl

Well composed Lin, even here there's signs of it with cool mornings and evenings. Tom

There's no leaf color changes or cool temps here yet, Tom. I do look forward to sweater weather, though. Thanks.
