Best Autumns Poems

Born on an autumn's day 

Blue skies and butterflies

Leaves falling to the ground  

Hold me under water 

Teach me how to pray

Then I'll be on my way

As I lay here in my grave...

As winter's gloom  descends upon  the trees
Autumn slumbers  'neath the fallen leaves
Spring's distant dream is yet to be perceived
As trees  weep in the cold silence of  their grief

Autumn slumbers  'neath the fallen leaves
As a lone bird sings a melancholy...

Credence aligned along the corridores of passage

Which usher in through the portends

This autumns door....

Such colourful banners of latitudes sprinkling

Flowing waters of repose that still echo

Inside, these sanctuaries walls

Guarded by the sentry whom stands at their gate

The entrance to the destined temple

Of the blessed, and eternal...

Autumn surrounds the lake
Vibrancy vivacious, romantic
Blue in the rippling eye
Dark speck, a boat

Grows bigger and bigger
The laughter
Her auburn hair thrown back,
Her subtle loveliness
He stares at the landscape of love

Day bellows in briskness
And a tartan blanket
Smoothed on her lap

A sporty arm around her shoulder
Shadows falling effervescent
Sweethearts...

Outside my windowpane 
Daylight dwindles 
Sunshines sparsely 
Further from the new dome skies
Ninety-three million miles away
Imbued in ripened colors 
Nature’s mahogany, oak, and cherrywood trees
and Jogger’s grassy paths once lime greens,
Chanting to changing tones of richer reds
Clustered blue-jays adorn 
Like shimmering rhinestones
Gayly sing above our...

Autumn, your plethora of
ardent colors that spear up
then bare, becoming dormant;
stretching their branches.

Don't you dare whisper a warm breath on my shoulder,
Or I might become even yet more, steamy and bolder!


Here~on this intoxicating, Western, autumnal night.
I wish I were, I wish I might, be your amorous slave tonight!


Like a scented, rainbowed candle, joyfully melting into you.
Becoming not...

Coiling quickly the leaves roll
Tumbling towards a new home
Autumn's oranges,reds,and gold
Splatter my view surrounding me

Warmth from the sun steaming
The dewy wet leaves in the morn
So intricately placed in quite a pattern
Delicately across my front lawn

The musty smell of drying leaves
Smoldering through my soul
Leaving images of...

Scorched leaves drift to earth
Gently in the evening sun
Silence permeates...

Fresher than a summer day
Through breath filled air we face the road
The tourists all have gone away
And frost filled nights their seed have sowed
To make the fall days their length erode

The beach is ours though not alone
White gulls push through storm filled air
Then rest on...

The Darkness fills me
illuminates fingertips
my eyes turn jet black
our dark hearts shatter like glass
your skin is cold blue
once vibrant soul matches suit
paralized with fear
we dance on our graves
holding sober hands
childrens laughter fills my head
flashing dark crimson and white
the grounds set for our last stand
our features...

   Evocative colors brain ingests assist minds eye a peaceful rest.
It may bring you to your knees, this painted landscape of the trees
   Every eye, instantly pleased, boredom authentically appeased 
Upon...

As Autumn relents 
to the first Winter snow,
her golden leaf blankets 
are peaked in their glow.
A season of color
that's nearing her end, 
now passing the time
with her cold Winter friend.

The cool flowing waters
have frozen and stilled
and warm gentle breezes
have calmed with a chill.
Knowing her place
through...
