Autumn weeps green cascades,
bone chilled usher omen for blazing trail of hues,
as mint fades
fall colours bloom,
singed red, golden flare, plum purple,
bright plume
sharp cold,
warm spells breed tints
bold
Autumn weeps green cascades,
singed red, golden flare, plum purple,
bold
Red, yellow, brown and green
All colours will be seen
Love this time of year ~ fill your cup
Hot chocolate, hats , scarfs gloves cosy up
Log fires lite in gardens brings dazzled light
As days get shorter ~ blazing sight
Kicking leaves, roasting chestnuts magic in the air

Open up your lenses and see the magic
surrounding you. Colours are like the zest
to a lemon, like the sparkle of the eyes!
Colours give life zing and zest.
They are admired by widened awestruck eyes
as the soul absorbs the depth of their magic.
Flecks of colours complete the iris of the eyes.
In many ways, they complete creative magic
and are associated with each persons zest.
Colour's magic sparkles zest through the eyes of the beholder.
Auburn Autumn believes
in glossy glittering glistening nice lustre !
Dry leaves leave.
Apples deep red
in glory on classy cluster.
Bright shade !
Blooms claim

Auburn Autumn believes

God opens pandora's box
yellow, golden, orange, green, shimmering hues grand
emerge from socks
a magic swish
Cooler chimes they cannot withstand
twirl wish
Dance ball
Rain, wind play band
fall
God opens pandora's box
Cooler chimes they cannot withstand
fall
beneath the golden hues
lurks the befall of proud expanse of greens of yore
sun they chewed!
colour facade
gnawed warmth, melancholy gore
what fraud!!
In lust
of nature's core
dust!!!
beneath the golden hues
gnawed warmth, melancholy gore
dust!!!
They arrive at the start of spring,
In the morning light, they sing,
On branches high they dance,
Daringly reaching for the sky, taking a chance.
Emerald leaves sway gently
in the breeze,
A soothing sound spreads among
the trees.
Beneath Summer’s warmth they drink and drink,
In various colours displaying their
beauty, glittering in sync.
Then in a blink comes autumn’s call,
Turning emerald leaves to gold and
red,
Each leaf’s vein bleeds,
And in a final twirl to the ground,
they gracefully fall.

My ice blue eyes
Ice blue eyes ~ gaze lovingly at you
Radiating ~ joy to all I see
My motto ~” show kindness to all”
A smile chases all the blues away
Blue butterfly ~ flutters by
Such beauty to behold
I love nature, wildflowers, trees,birds,bees
All radiate God’s love
Stop what your doing ~ smell the roses
Be thankful to be alive
You are enough my friend
The world a better place because your in it.
Put on your coat or hoodie like me
Let’s go a walk in beauty that surrounds us
Autumn is springing forth
Awesome colours to brighten your day
It felt like Autumn
on this morning’s run
I want it to be fall
with its syllabus of vibes
I’m signaling a stance
I’m autumn’s undoubted champion
wearing my choice like gangland colours
- I could give my all to fall -
summer only ever had my subdivided attention
Summer’s just too needy: it demands relaxation,
bare legs, sun block, beach plans, hydration,
barbecue, and relentless fun, with scant variations
I want the visual promise of leaves falling
the flattering autumnal colour palette
my whole devotion crowns shortening days
fall always serves as a competent stylist
complete with venti pumpkin lattes
and mornings with a costume of frost
Unbind the theatrical heats of midsummer nights
and let the season's advance revive us
show us falls slanting golden afternoon light
let crisper darknesses harbour counterfeit witches
and lengthening dusks warrant winter wishes
Let fall assume her russet throne
and give us autumn’s cool agenda
without the influenza
.

Songs for this:
Ping Pong by Dimie Cat
Messy by Lola Young
With swirling colours all around, bright hues of yellow gold
A picture painted russet red, a story to be told.
Of new beginnings, tiny seeds were planted long ago
By loving hands so carefully that placed them in a row.
And so, with time their little shoots all sprung up from the ground
Survived the seasons early years, their roots are now earth bound.
Each year they’ve grown until at last, their canopy embrace
With branches strong, all reaching out, each other they do face.
Soon scattered all around are leaves of russet red and gold
As carpet beds lie on the ground their beauty to behold.
This wondrous spectrum now is seen, as Autumn’s breath is close
An artist’s brush cannot compete with nature's simple prose.
Like Autum leave these words come down and scatter on the page
But wither not, these words survive and with this poem age.
Transition time of seasons bring, this change and will not care
But Autumns beauty brings delight, no other can compare
Blue is the color that fills your room every time.
Waiting for my train; l lied to my mom.
Brown is the color of your eyes that I fell in love with.
My heart was broken, how did you fix it?
We're lying on your couch.
"Home alone" and gentle touch.
Midnight; the Christmas tree
And your hot, sweet black tea.
You warm me with your hands,
I kiss your perfect face and...
I wanna dance with you in the rain or snow,
In very worst heat or great storm.
You caught me when I was falling (down).
I'm so afraid of being alone now.
Green is the color of my eyes that you look into
every time I come to your town.
Black is the color of my T-shirt, that smells like you,
Now it's in the air when I think of you, babe.
Small pizza;"I care a lot"
Boy I know what you want.
Our photos on your phone.
Scarlet marks on collarbone.
You hold my hands till they're warm.
The world's gray, but we are golden.
I wanna dance with you in the rain or snow,
Even if they say it is wrong.
You caught me when I was falling (down).
My whole world is you and I.
Colours
violet, vermillion,
blossoming, flourishing, endearing,
gardens, meadows, flowers, parks,
dazzling, engaging, fascinating,
flamboyant. iridescent,
hues
Looking out my ever-open front door
as the closing day slowly dies
the sun bleeding iridescent colours
across endless turning skies
as I live and breathe
so you won't forget
I'll draw back the curtains
before fading into the sunset
and yet
leave something behind
to illuminate the room
remind those who follow
and dispel any gloom
as the sooner the better
now would be opportune
to shine a light
my words please mark,
to you I say,
“When it's dark
out there,
know what's watt, don't shirk,
put your hands in the air,
for many hands make light work.”
In my garden
Rays of the rising sun
Spin bright hues on dews on flowers
as sunbeams on glasses~
Nature`s wonder.
With the sunrise
Colours dance in my soul
As I gaze at hues on flowers
Like light on a clear prism~
Nature`s sweet gift.
I prefer colouring with markers,
But they all bleed through the papers.
