Short Scarlets Poems

brilliant red maple tree
with her vibrant leaf flames
she gives me pause
her scarlets are as onfire as cinnabar
reminding me of sun fire and blood
I love her...

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
Beautiful
Dainty
Fall...

rich sunset colors
hold memories of the day
scarlets for the rose

purple evokes plums
orange was butterfly noon
lavender calls scents

peach was the fall leaves
yellows for buttercup dawn
white was glowing smiles

colors are moving
all swirling upon the sea
as moon advances...

Autumn flaunts

splendiferous

colors

rich earthy tones

gilded in gold leaf.

Scarlets and
 
yellows

form Nature's

finest

works of art

as Autumn

weaves a tapestry

of orange and crimson

leaves

touting fall’s beauty.

I go to the edge of the world
And I find
Yellows and oranges
Reds, scarlets, mauves, and burgundies
All congested together
Into a blasting color display
Turning the blue gradually
Into black nothingness
And bringing the darkening sky
Black behind the tail
Of the solar ball
As the sun sets
These colors get darker
Until darkness comes
At the very end

from afar, leaves like uncounted catatonic fires  
huddled close
pinned to the chill air

a pointillist’s love affair with a hundred shades of red

the ground is a fresh wound, edgeless 

a breeze worries the boughs 
stokes the hanging flames into quivering  
crimsons 
scarlets 
vermilions 
renegade ambers

a slow burn resumes

accompanied by a susurrus of sighs 
a dirge for a season

and the summer sky, now turned slate,
is cremated...
