This Autumn Night

On wings of scarlet, radiance takes flight as leaves, like cardinals, soar overhead. They twirl, then tumble, beautiful and bright, beneath September’s sun, which spills deep red onto the valley’s floor. In dying light, the peaks of distant mountains garlanded by clouds still gleam into this autumn night. For Brian Strand's 'ALL YOURS (Jan 30)' Contest

My friend, this baby sings all the way.... All great but this one is solid gold IMHO.. "They twirl, then tumble, beautiful and bright, beneath September’s sun, which spills deep red onto the valley’s floor."

you blow me away Andrea. you are as good a poet as any poet i have ever read. i have read a ton of poets. god bless your talented heart. i swear i feel honored just to be able to read your work. i may sound like a cheerleader but i believe i am an excellent director. i pride myself in having recognized many great actors you would know who i either directed or taught acting at university.

So the leaves, like the cardinals, are heading for warmer climes. Particularly like the "distant mountains garlanded"
