Best Merse Poems

Blush
fair skies 
mist Sol-kissed
citrine seduced 
mimosa clouds bask
dreamy in champagne light 

golden-god’s sparkle fills
chalices roused and
rouged as poppies
hail dawn with
unfurled 
whorls

Leaves
Of gold
Shimmering
Like flames of fire 
Dancing in sunlight
Panoramic color

Fall’s splendor, unsurpassed
Vibrant majesty
A symphony
For the eyes
Nature’s
Song

I 
adore
kicking through
crisp crunchy leaves
of gold, red and brown
carpeting the damp ground


Biting winds chill our bones
pumpkin soup warms us
and we’ll snuggle
up by a
blazing 
fire

three
trees drop
scarlet laced
marmalade leaves
maple sheen spilling
on burgundy meadows

where tart October winds
swirl with sharp colors
yellow limbs fade
drowsy gray
awaits
May

From
scented
wildflowers
to falling snow
or a twinkling star,
Nature's ubiquitous.

She's an interactive
all-encompassing
omnipresence,
the tactile
face of
God.

calm
placid
clear blue lake
serene and still
in a wide palm-fringed
rich green verdant valley

mother duck leads and swims
in the tranquil lake
ducklings white, soft
follow her
one by
one

shapely, forested feast,
fairyland of colors.

quite
dazzling:
sheer beauty
of autumn woods.
leaves of red and gold
twirl about in the air.

butterflies float under
the bright midday sun
joyful robins
sing summer's
farewell
song

Sky
blushing~
trees in bronze
dance as leaves fall,
carpeting the earth
in brown, gold and yellow;
A gentle gypsy wind
blows down the meadow
exuding scent
of old rose~
I smell
YOU.

eager for my raking

I enjoy the sight of

autumn beauty
of gold leaf

dawn
rises
splendidly
with amber rays
spreading across sky 
the joy of new day’s light

magic glazes the sky
as days seamlessly
pass into nights
painting rich

dusk
