Flowers of Autumn
what a beautiful sight
spread across the meadow
so golden and bright
Leaves of Autumn
a rainbow of hue
boasting their fancy
with colors so new
Skies of Autumn
so blue and clear
twinkling star nights
when darkness is here
Fields of Autumn
are ready to go
with a harvest of plenty
and a beautiful show
Nights of Autumn
refreshed with a chill
a blanket for sleeping
really seals the deal
The magic of Autumn
brings a wonderful array
of beautiful treasures
in Autumn's own way

ReplyDeleteThank you Susie, That's so sad.. I wish you could enjoy them too..
DeleteSusie, I think this is my favorite yet. Your love of this beautiful season just shines through every line.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much..
DeleteHi Susie, what a wonderful poem and I love your blog's new red color! I am really looking forward to fall too. All the leaves are still green and on the trees here in our little part of south Georgia. Autumn doesn't really start here until November but then it is so pretty, with the flaming maple trees and snowy cotton fields in full bloom! I am longing for that first chilly sweater day! I started a tradition years ago when Tony and I were first married. On the first cold day of autumn, I make a big pot of potato cheese soup and homemade bread, with pumpkin cake for dessert. It won't be long now! I especially love the line in your poem about the chill of autumn air being a blanket for sleeping. That is so pretty! I love that feeling too. Have a wonderful evening ahead! Love, Delisa :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Delisa, It's sad that you have to wait that long but it'll be worth it, I'm sure. That soup sounds yummy, think of me..blessings
DeleteThis was so beautiful, Susie! And the nights have been chilly here.. perfect for snuggling with a blanket! :)
