(for Milady's)
Wise trees ~ rooted in darkbrown soil ~
surrender:
shed fluttering leaves like tired birds
when on the green moss of the bark
Nature makes her secret mark
which triggers Autumn's rustic laughter
At dusk the hills and velvety skies
boast April's glowing garments:
scarlet, bronze and crimson flames
play chestnut, amber, golden games
with quiet, subdued cries
Come, Milady ~ Marvelous May:
rise to the twittering Departure!
lingering fragrances drift away
upon the misty morning splendour
into the rustling rustling Day ...
nice work on this one .
Autumn is so beautiful where you live...your description is like a dream. Where I live, the time for turning leaves is six months away, but just for a moment, I felt I was surrounded by the season's brilliant colors.
