Best Autumnal Poems

I remember clinging on to the naked branch,
which had been my home since the season of birth.
In my days of botanical glory,
flourishing and nourishing in nature
I would spread my vibrant wings of luscious green,
blooming alongside a canopy of compatriots,
shading the world from bright sunlight.
At night...

Vistas of autumnal flame set the fiery meadows afire
Where song of the winds wheezes in auburn breeze
And gold, red, brown whispers kindle tunes of a lyre
Rustling in cool air, melodies of leaves, falling from trees 

Where song of the winds wheezes in auburn breeze
Pumpkin dreams...

In depth of woods how autumn dazzles, swirling beauty of ornate décor,
Waltzing with ochre hickory, birch; whirling flaxen moods of sycamore,
Gracing my view upon blazing foothills, where vistas gamboge scroll,
Bedecking maples, swaying rhythms, with fiery red of shimmying knoll.

Zephyrs of west rustle demeanor of black...

Yesterday has passed,
today I shall rise and dream,
let mourning stars fade.
Some flowers may wilt,
Yet fragrance remains when skies-
bleed cantaloupe hope.
Ruby crowned kinglets,
croon and rest on bleak brown shrubs,
as rays of autumn-
swiftly glide amongst,
peridot promises wrapped
in crisp memories.
But when ink comes as
wind-swept secrets tumbling in,
russet streaks...

autumnal whimsy...

Oh! how gracefully the trees, flaunting splendor lilt
Swaying autumn’s palettes in rhythms of winds ruby 

As the sun is setting, flaming glow of gamboge skies
Amber breeze is blushing rosy glimmer of eventide
And robins are excavating pecking on decaying lawn
Where ducks are ambling, ogling seductive bond
Amid...

Crimson vistas blaze sapphire sky
Glinting twilight in lovers’ eyes
When desires smile and tempos rise

As autumn’s scarlet feelings vie
Whirling appeal of amber breeze
Sepia dreams crooning hearts seize

Tinting leaves in fiery red dye
Autumnal hints ignite romance
Stealing glance of alluring stance

And lilting vibes, gilded winds sigh
As moonlit mountains...

It’s autumn time in America,
the colors are changing ...
(it’s alt right to gasp in whited disbelief)
as poplar majority, quaking Aspen leaves
slowly fall off 
the John Birch branches

Minority bad weather report
says with autumnal census certainty,
that the colors are changing
irrevocably 

And as such, 
the changing of the...

potpourri of wreaths 
   splatter night rhinestones with aisles 
      of gold cashmere talc,
         stairways of herons ascend
   *        sky flooding...

The naked night, the wailing wind; 
leaves in their flight are summers end.
Betwixt occult and morning’s light 
moon stands, it’s her birthright.

Ghost-nests revealed in abandoned limbs; 
wind wails and peals its adieu hymns.  
Birds left will feed on frozen meals; 
squirrels will plead for...

autumn's palette colours fauna and flora - amber and brown shades spread

golden flames too timid to enkindle - last rose turns rusty from red

tears of mercy bleed from heaven's garden - dewdrops drip on naked thorns

clouds compose in charcoal clumps of miserable gloom - chill...

As Autumn exhibits seasonal changes that abound
Undeniable is the glorious beauty that can be found
Tree foliage is a burnished canopy, gilded by the sun
Upon the land, there is harvesting work to be done
Mother Nature ripens fields, crops of yellow maize
North winds begin to blow, and...

  Feel free to call me an ostrich
  not because I'm an omnivore
  We recognize the story of the ostrich
  that sticks its head in the sand
  when something happens
  - something we don't wish to acknowledge
  or...

Rustling blades of ruby float on my front lawn,
        gazebo flooded with gold and chartreuse leaves-
I sit at my bay window, in awe I fawn, 
        Autumn's pure beauty comforts and...

As school children scurry to school
like the multi-colored leaves that will soon
be hurried along the roads by October winds,
we feel and we know 
that a new season is upon us.
Stifling summer’s ardor, autumn almost seems
to hum a melancholy tune
as its breezes caress a multitude of...
