The Gilded Leaves of Autumn Sigh

When fleeting storm said goodbye
The darkened sky detected a lie
Besting clouds her thoughts host
Drenching doubts that block riposte.

As the cobalt sky and ocean meet
On the sapphire arc revelers greet
The changing season's vibrant theme
In golden attire of autumn's dream.

The sound of wind whirls in trees
Musical tones of rustling leaves
And the falling foliage flies with ease
Orange hues in autumn's breeze.

As the sepia tones enchant her eye
The gilded leaves of autumn sigh
On buoyant horizon drifting high
Where crimson vistas touch the sky.

Vivid vibes spell a brand new start
As blazing colors awaken her heart
And amber passions begin to reveal
Tinges of magenta in love's appeal.

Hello Vijay Pandit, the only good thing about autumn is the leaves change color. We enjoy this scene for as long as it last. But then the leaves begin to fall, then we have the chore to rake them up. Bag the leaves and bring to the dump. Have a nice day my friend.

Hello Vijay, A very beautiful description of Autumn's sigh. Your words and concomitant imagery, and the overarching metaphor of your Rhyme portray a most wondrous word picture of this radiant season in the divine praise of Mother Nature herself. Extraordinary Work!! A FAVE!! Cheers, Gary
