Lin Lane Poet Monoku

Notes About The Poem

Autumn Reverie Contest     Sponsor: JCB Brul

  October 27, 2023

Wrapped In Autumn's Embrace

I was wrapped in autumn's embrace ~ as she shed her withered leaves of lace

her gown was crimson and gold ~ autumn's reverie in meadow and wold*

she travels upon windswept chords ~ in apple orchards and fields of gourds

autumn nights beneath a harvest moon ~ I hear haunting calls of a loon

Daniel Turner October 27, 2023 at 3:12 PM Sweet! Crimson and gold, harvest moon, all we need is a few brisk mornings. Easy read. Hoping you are well my friend. Lin Lane October 28, 2023 at 9:01 AM I'll be having a few brisk mornings next week, Danny, and since you're a wee bit north of me, I suspect you will be, too. Thanks for commenting and you know I'm well.

David Kavanagh October 27, 2023 at 2:03 PM A brilliant quartet of rhyming Monokus Lin, so adeptly put together, with fabulous imagery in each one, and a nice old English wold, very rarely seen on the soup, great one for contest, cheers David Lin Lane October 28, 2023 at 8:59 AM Thank you a bunch, David. I've read many books set in English, Irish and Scottish regions. I've always loved the languages and use words from them occasionally... do ya ken, lad? Rhyming Monoku are a fun challenge for me.
