A PICTURE WITH AUTUMN PROMPTS AND TITELS

The ink has ran
copyer out of ink

Stare at the picture and see what you can find
be inspired by the picture and write
20 to 30 lines
no more no less or points off
ALL CENTERED or points off
No dark- I don't understand it some times
I want happy nature
and autumn write
PROMPTS

1
"You can't hide your true colours as you approach the autumn of your life."
2
The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
3
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ~Albert Camus
4
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad. ~Edwin Way Teale
5
It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life. ~P.D. James
6
Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter. ~Carol Bishop Hipps
7
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot
8
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds - November!
~Thomas Hood, "No!"

9
Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. ~Stanley Horowitz

10
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face.
~John Donne

11
Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.
~Emily Dickinson

12
October's poplars are flaming torches lighting the way to winter. ~Nova Bair

13
falling leaves
hide the path
so quietly
~John Bailey, "Autumn," a haiku year, 2001, as posted on oldgreypoet.com

14
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
~George Cooper, "October's Party"
