The Grandeur of Fall

The gleam of Autumn falls through colored leaves
in glorious glow of gorgeous rapture
ushers in enchantment to forest trees
with serenity, Autumn can capture
these multi-colored leaves slowly turn brown
an omen to come from a season's shift
gone are the leaves that tumble and breakdown
released by the North Wind of Fall's chilled drift
There's a loneliness to limbs that are bare
as they move with the wind beneath gray skies
this harbinger of death comes without care
as the beauty of Autumn slowly dies
The grandeur of Fall will often be brief
It starts with the change of a single leaf

Your way with describing things is so creative and beautiful, i really love the way you’ve woven imagery as well as how captivating your rhymes are here. My fave lines would be, “ There's a loneliness to limbs that are bare“ so evocative and soul stirring. “ glorious glow of gorgeous rapture“ seamless alliterations. “ It starts with the change of a single leaf” whoa what an ending. Im in absolute awe. Truly loved this take. Definitely a top winner. Goodluck for the contest
