Notes About The Poem

For Emile Pinet's The Grandeur Of Fall Poetry Contest

________________________________________________________________________

The Fall - What Grandeur

The fall  - oh so lovely - is in my eyes
the sweetest candy which each year I see,
for when persimmon often paints the skies,
stunning are those sunsets surprising me
with swirls sometimes of crimson - purple too.
My roses even blossom one last time
before the winter comes and fall is through.
Fall’s beauty makes me want to write with rhyme!
The trees have reached their zenith; colors bloom
in such bright hues before the cold arrives
to strip them bare and bring on winter’s gloom.
The fall inspires poets, and sonnets thrive.
How many by fall have been enraptured?
What grandeur with words have poets captured!
