Poems
Your love is
quite sensational –
Your laughter tastes
like spring-time rain
Your tears smell
like sweet lemon flower petals
Your voice looks
so
deeply
majestic
Your heart sounds
like exquisite violin and harp concertos
And your eyes!
Your eyes feel
like early autumn sunset’s amber-gold lengthening glow
Oh, my love, your love
is entirely, completely,
embracingly
Sen-sational!
Like a Spring Blossom
Ever changing
Sits at my side, loyal
and cherished
‘Til Summer then Autumn
and Winter again.
Year followed by year
To spin our Gold
and you, a Rose
forever blooms
and I, the branch
to support your
sweet bouquet.
The wedding they’d dreamed of was carefully chosen
For brisk mid-autumn before the ground was frozen
As her freedom fighter struggled in the Mideast
She was absorbed in planning a fall wedding feast
A lively country band in the red barn would play
Magenta chrysanthemums would be her bouquet
Though many of his comrades never made it home
He returned to be wed ‘neath fall’s colorful dome

Your Love
Your love is like,
an autumn scene,
a falling leaf,
a running stream,
Your love is the sun,
shining through the shadow
of the trees,
sharing it's warmth,
through a chilly breeze,
Your love captures,
the tiniest tear,
and turns it to laughter,
then takes away your fear,
Your love can master
all forms of woe,
together you will share,
together you will grow,
through sunshine and rain,
and the falling snow.
winter risks bride groom
after fall winter wedding
kisses cold iced lips
frozen wedded bliss
embrace me with the fire
of your soul winter
you’re a girl named
after Autumn, May, Summer
marry me, Winter

Five sisters. Each as pretty as the other.
Their names are Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring
and nameless. Whom to choose from them? I’d rather…
Five sisters! Each as pretty as the other!
I’d rather seek the blessing of their mother
to put on nameless this engagement ring.
Five sisters. Each as pretty as the other.
Their names are Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring.
* Ring finger is called nameless finger in Russian.

Celebrate May with a Triolet (tree-o-lay) Poetry Contest
Andrea Dietrich
Gathering from this night...
These streets as her ghost town
Hushed whispers, shall we find you then ?
Standing at love's window; upon the other side
Of light ? Crystal eyes His child cries; a phantom bride.
Parallel to loneliness was I,
then day broke and I awoke with ease-
lovely Autumn breeze and cobalt sky,
joy prevails and hopelessness does cease.
A day when weeping willows don’t cry,
tangerine sunset between the trees-
smiles resound in love we can’t deny,
we hold hands swearing true guarantees.
Beautiful day renewing our vows.

Overview
Autumn wedding poetry draws on a season of vivid color, cooler air, and gentle change. It can bring warmth to vows, ceremony readings, invitations, toasts, or notes exchanged before the celebration. Rather than relying only on familiar images of falling leaves, a poem might notice the slant of afternoon light, the scent of apples or woodsmoke, the hush of an early dusk, or the way two hands feel warmer together.
The season also offers a rich emotional range. Harvest imagery can suggest gratitude for all that has brought a couple to this day, while changing landscapes can reflect the brave, hopeful step of building a shared life. Autumn poems may be radiant, reflective, playful, or quietly intimate. The strongest writing connects seasonal detail to something true about the couple: a remembered walk, a favorite place, the weather on the wedding morning, or the particular kind of comfort they have found in one another.
Meaning and Symbolism
In wedding poetry, autumn can symbolize maturity, abundance, transition, and gratitude. A harvest does not need to imply perfection; it can represent the patient care, ordinary work, and shared seasons that allow love to deepen. Turning leaves offer a graceful image of change, reminding a couple that a lasting bond makes room for growth rather than resisting it.
Autumn’s balance of brightness and fading light can also hold joy and tenderness at once. Gold, russet, and crimson suggest warmth and vitality, while crisp air and lengthening evenings create a sense of closeness. These meanings are possibilities, not fixed rules. A couple may instead use autumn simply as the setting of their story, letting precise details carry personal significance.
Wedding Poem Writing Ideas
- Begin with one sensory detail. Describe cool air, rain on stone, orchard fruit, candlelight, or the sound of leaves beneath wedding shoes.
- Connect change with a shared experience. Recall a move, a difficult season, or a decision that helped the relationship grow.
- Create a harvest of gratitude. List the qualities, people, places, and small moments that brought the couple to their wedding day.
- Use a two-part structure. Let the first section look back at the journey so far and the second imagine the seasons still to come.
- Revise for personal meaning. Replace broad phrases about autumn romance with details only the couple and their loved ones would recognize.
Sample Wedding Poem Lines
Under the copper trees, our promises found their clearest light.
Let every turning season teach our hands the shape of home.
We gathered this day like apples, bright with weather and patience.
The evening came early, but neither of us hurried from the glow.
Among all the leaves letting go, we chose what we would carry.
