Best Foliage Poems

The very first week of every October
Bright yellow, orange, amber, purple and red
Splash artistry on New Hampshire’s White Mountains
As the tourism season comes to a head

North Conway’s old railroad station is abuzz
Men in traditional conductor attire
Escort sightseers to seats with pane-free windows
To peer out at...

Wafting in the breeze,
Wilted dreams...to be a bird:
Leaf aspirations....

Deep in Nature's woods
Battle scars of weathered life
Silently descend...

Fringed by colored trees,
The passage up the mountain;
Calico Autumn....

Fall foliage—
the colors are great
for economic growth...

The dense foliage,
Palms and Ferns and Shrubs. Oh my!
Oh how dense it is....

Silhouette of trees dressed in chiffon prints
Oaks, pines, maples flushing their hair
I trail along their rumba curve
Way down to where young bushes nestle
Above gentle sail of Charles River 
crossing a moat...slowly, foliage begins to drop 
thin leaves in nearness of autumn’s embrace,
As more shredded timber...

F ire on horizon this time of year,
A utumn ushers in winter’s sear.
L ight slowly fades a bit each day,
L ess time now for outdoor play.

F loods of colour on the trees,
O ccur before the big freeze.  
L eaves scatter as rain falls,

Leaves swayed above the ground--
The elder branches
Released pure foliage

The wind whistled and crowned 
The young, dainty leaves 
With a sweet, mellow scent 

Leaves land on the damp floors--
The elder branches  
Released such squalid grief...

An empty studio:
the man of the passionate handwriting
belts his dog

come my glory, my plebeian bride
hamster bagels

glitter indeed:
meticulously chosen bbq charcoals
as whimsical jewellery

“I’m so on fire and hear the wind”

Your grabbers, call them back 
let me   su.su

“No, don’t touch me now,
let me talk”...

as swans slide across lakes - sunset rays sway to autumnal reveries

ambling across swirling helix - of deadened cinnamon foliage 

mocking greenery framing skeletal bones - of lifeless roots crackling 

the warmth of your deep saffron gold aura - harvests the depth of our love

with dusk approaching
the radiance of the day
melts in the rain

streetlights smear
the autumn colours
across the footpaths

doubling the display
of chromatic foliage
autumn gloats

Gold is covering emerald leaves,
I can see cloudy heaven is numb,
Asters, dahlias blooms among grieves
like a garland they cannot succumb.

Little rain is annoying sometimes,
It is hanging like muddy cobweb, 
The wind plays with the foliage that lies,
It will fly away newly, don't grab.

And sometimes daring...
