Autumn Poems | Examples of Autumn Poetry

I'm at my keyboard as I remember a long ago dawning of September. Who would have thought that a once youthful lad would encounter summer's end and be glad? He enjoyed all the freedom and the play, given a boy on each extended day. But now, was ready to return to school, a sentiment not oft' considered cool. To see the...

For: SEASONS NOW AND AFTER Poetry Contest Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Date: August 6, 2025 ***** Somewhere between the summer and the rain you left and left me lonesome once again. The tiger-lily and the bumblebee are pleased to keep their simple company. The young black-tailed deer and her spotted fawn take morning leisure on the fresh mown lawn Two-by-two...

Crisp chills of air betwixt the leaves; Uninterrupted,their autumnal descent. Shed from clusters of molting trees, Color fades from limbs barren and bent. Branches shiver in the shifting wind, Foretelling colder times to come. Wynorrific,a blood red moon Strikes fear into the hearts of some. Dreary clouds adorn the sky, As mist enshrouds the ground. Moonlight shadows cast ambient Cascades of darkness all around. Loneliness seems surrounding...

Reminiscent of a doe with a hue as rich as earth, your gaze takes me home to a cedar-filled hearth. Welcoming like hot chocolate and as vibrant as autumn's leaves, your stare carries the life that Mother Nature herself weaves. Neutral, yet expressive— as versatile as leather, but still so alive— your eyes are the gemstones favored by the sun and I alike....

The orchard stands, but I don’t pick. The gate is open. That is all. The birds can take what fruit they wish— I’ve left no shadow on the wall. The weather turns, as weather must. The grain was read. The blade was still. I marked the signs with neither trust nor question of the wind’s goodwill. A thread unspooled beneath the wheat. No one...

a red-orange golden glow covers faded summer leaves- autumn's magic brush Leaves, neath autumn skies turned from green to burnished gold blaze new landscape views- hand in hand, our hearts glow warm midst our autumn season too ...

In the hour when senile summer breathes her last, The vim of her ego births a somnolent child. Rising forth from the yawning pit of newness, Dyed with shades of seasonal confetti, Fall rises with a spectrumed diadem. October reigns with a high degree of splendour, Braiding strands of leaves with threads of gold....

So plant it on that petrichoric soil in rows As you bring at my funeral that pure ruby rose And so? If I'm unable to perceive it's essence Don't shatter either penalize it in a burst of incense Then nourish it with spring warm water to lush And let it expand on more roses to reserve...

We cannot blame nature for melancholy of the autumn Leaves falling down the ground Decay to enrich the soil for feeds and the fertility of the forest It's us isolated to our world of the human ignorance Excluding needs of the world that food feeds us with love of the flavors and colors And fantasy Knitting is for...
