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 :)

a wonderful fall Sonnet, Charles. Your images were spot on in describing fall. I especially liked 'the scarecrow starts to undress, chill's in the air, fall's dancing with winter.' Perfect. I agree, they are the prettiest days of the year. Have a spendid weekend, Sara
