To Dance In Fall

The falling leaves serenade and ballet 
Whilst the harvest moon slowly waves good-bye 
The sky; a straw-like yellow chardonnay 
As the "Good morning" sun rises a nigh 

The frosty glitter on naked corn stalks 
Waltzing between orange pumpkins and gourds 
Flying in tango a parlay of hawks 
Doves in bachata as wind plays it's chords 

Branches on trees all barren and leafless 
Rose bush's thorns- "Be careful" a splinter 
And slowly, the scarecrow starts to undress 
'Chills in the air, falls dancing with winter 

Caressing together- autumn and fall 
The prettiest days of the year of all

Oh my, this is such an eloquent and refreshing nature-inspired poem! I can imagine that "good morning" sun, frosty glitter, doves in bachata and rose bushes.. Very artistically you've made your words come alive by painting these vivid scenes in a mesmerizing way! I love the mellifluous flow as well.. A FAV for me, definitely :)
