Storms of Fall Splendor

Whirlwinds of splendor jitterbug in back streets,
Autumn’s song breathes in a blizzard of umber,
Downpours of vermillion create flushed retreats
Crimson cloudbursts, impetuous as thunder.

Tempests magenta scuttle on winding roads
While squalls of cerise in warm copper whorls twirl
Gusts of red garnet blow across the crossroads
And, like gales of laughter, orange giggles swirl.

Russet storm winds blow in dazzling fandangos 
Auburn firestorms spin in scarlet enchantment
Ethereal fogs spin gusts of gold tangos 
Flurries of sunlight – autumnal event.

Showers of glory chant in mistrals of red
Twisters of ruby across fields and moraines
Outbursts of amber, maroon brouhahas spread,
On waiting roads, sidewalks, avenues and lanes.

Premium Member Dissuading Dissent

before barristers
bone-busting brouhahas broached
barbaric bedlam

comely charwomen
cringed contemplating cruel
commonplace cudgelings 

dank dungeons deterred
disorderly drunken dolts
dissuading dissent

(Alliteration)
