Splendor of October

In autumn’s gilded dreams, sepia winds sigh Amber leaves appeal, rustling aureate trees As crimson vistas dazzle, blushing cobalt sky When October arrives, splendorous hues vie Floating in prairies, drifting twilight breeze In autumn’s gilded dreams, sepia winds sigh Ruby beams gleam, bidding summer goodbye Crush of feisty bees, auburn meadows appease As crimson vistas dazzle, blushing cobalt sky Gamboge imprints of fall, blaze in russet dye Glinting ardent themes, glistening hills please In autumn’s gilded dreams, sepia winds sigh Raising tempo of lovers’ vibes, falling colors fly Caressing autumnal hints, crooning hearts tease As crimson vistas dazzle, blushing cobalt sky Smitten enamored eyes, lift emotions high Scarlet arc’s revelry, enchanted visions seize In autumn’s gilded dreams, sepia winds sigh As crimson vistas dazzle, blushing cobalt sky July 7, 2020 Month of the year I like most poetry contest Sponsor: Mohan Chutani

I have never attempted a Villanelle...they are extremely difficult to compose. I have to say I think you have made a very good attempt here, Vijay, with what is universally recognised as a format which presents the poet lots of headaches when trying to get it sounding just right. Very well done! Cheers, Vijay! :) john

I see October inspires your poetry... The horizons are always a variety of colours in this month.. We get clementine and lilac horizons, where I live... You always know how to set the scene perfectly...
