Autumn is…
When lush, green leaves
Don new attire to
Entertain new weather….
Lively leaves with colours ablaze in
Glorious splendour…
Such rich display of God’s amazing
Handiwork!…
The smile of the seasons….
After Summer’s laughter
(Tickled by Spring’s giggles)
Ripples by; then comes
Autumn’s mellow smile of contentment:
Prelude to Winter’s snore…
An entertaining raindance of
Enlivened leaves of exotic colours
Ablaze in sun-drenched resplendence of
Gold, red, orange, and brown
Appliques….
The mellow, muted tones of harp in the
Orchestra of the Seasons….
An interracial exodus of excited leaves
Whirling, swirling, twirling happily to their
Damp demise….
A pause for effect…
Priceless punctuation in the
Sentence of the Seasons…
Spring’s aurora,
Summer’s noon; then
Autumn’s ambient twilight
Ere Winter’s moon….
The smile of all the seasons…
Summers’s laughter,…
Winter’s snore,…
Spring’s giggle,…
Autumn’s smile of cool contentment….
Penned Autumn, 1997.
