Autumn Nonet Poems

It came sweetly upon midnight's breath,
that turned seasons from green to brown, 
and brought the pre-dawn warblers
to chirp a merry song...
nestled securely
on, around, and 
in-between
fall's...

In fog-shawled autumn the memory

returns to me, bittersweet as

cardinal fruits of hawthorn,

the fallen, fading leaves...

lost berry-baby

nestled within

blankets of

morning

mist.

Gold 
tinged leaves
drape the lawn,
rustle in breeze
on the first frost sheath.
In the fading fall scene
garden grass dons crown of dew,
glints in November’s last warm glow,

Piggybacked on a feisty Fall breeze,
November scatters scarlet leaves.
And as bated breaths of air
disperse like contrails
in the skies above;
flurries of flakes
tumble down
ending
Fall.

Oaks and birch grow silent, stripped naked
By winds, breathless, whispering songs
Through the melancholic night
Tears of autumn disclose
Wonders, erasing
Every last doubt
In burning
Vibrant 
Hues

Rich
Blossoms
GRANDIOSE
Pink, red, yellow, 
Orange and purple, 
The "Queen of Fall flowers", 
Cheerful chrysanthemums bright, 
Famed for THERAPEUTIC VALUES, 
Graces graves as the "Flower of Death".

Leaves
fallen
in lovely
fading colors
Light snow is flying
the year fast receding
now that harvest days are gone
Baby bluebirds have grown and flown
It's the beautiful, natural way

A blue haze hovers in the dimmed sky 
while blackbirds sing a rusted shriek
rusted leaves crunch and crackle
Sun-tanned stalks cover fields
The last red leaves drop
Dark...

Her hoarfrost painted fingernails send
shivers racing down my spine and
a gaggle of goosebumps
quickly raise the alarm
for feeling her touch
chilling my flesh
I shudder
at my
core.

Colors of autumn make me smile
Golden browns, russets, scarlets too
Sky today looks vibrant blue
Squirrels leap tree to tree
Gorgeous autumn day
Crazy pretty

Seasons change and trees teach us lessons
In colorful ways, letting go
Embracing new things to come
Even while feeling bare
I watch it happen
I can smell fall
Scattered in

Crimson twilight, stained glass sunsets bled
Frost tipped flowers of summers fled
Migrating flocks, southwards led
Gatherings to break bread
Chrysanthemum spread
Autumnal bed
Overhead
Wind sped
Red

It’s autumn in garden leaves do blow

Tidy up time start with hedge row

Then cut down weeping willow

Weed flower beds with hoe

Lots of grass to mow
