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.

frost
like a
silver queen
makes yellow sheen
on bed of leaves with
ruby emerald gloss!
wisp of wind sails across
shuffling the patterns
as crimson rays
heave a sigh
and move
on!

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

a
tired
daffodil
bows down its head
to sleep a day's end.
nodding repeatedly;
done blaring its trumpet,
the entertainer
calls it a day;
lullaby
sung by
wind.

leaves party
dressed in orange
red or gold on limbs
dancing, rustling boldly
saluting their short stay
knitting last hurrahs
of colored shawls

musky sweet
smell of piled leaves
crackling like child's smile
painted floor with rich hues
mailed message of alert
to gather produce
chilled breezes hint

The
way light
shines through leaves,
is a lovely
smile before the spite
of a bitter winter
steals the gold from Autumn's
rusty and worn-out
pockets, leaving
naked trees
and cold
skies.

Dressed
in hues
of russet,
crimson and gold,
the Indian bride
captivates everyone.
Her starched saree rustles
as I walk over
it with barefoot.
Cool breeze, bright
sun bless
her.

The
air’s chill
grows stronger.
I wrap myself
in melancholy
as crisp nights grow longer.
As summer’s magic fades,
sunsets paint skies red.
Soon multi-hued
bright leaves to
earth will
fall

Hued
Leaves fall,
Painting soft
Maple daydream,
Enchanting image
Of chromatic carpet...
Russet, yellow, orange
Spangles twirling down
From golden trees,
Breeze unfolds
Wonder
Dance.

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

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
