Autumn's Premiere

Bid Farewell to warm summer's end,
Sing my lover, forever transcend
With her touch across the countryside
Her beauty in seasons I abide
Aura made of dazzling hue
Crimson, scarlet and gold of virtue
To prosper in harvest moon's playgrounds
To taste sweet gourds as eagerness abounds
Dance to her festive ditty,
Watch her strip her leaves to leave a splendor body
She fills me with such pleasure
Through the warm winds I whisper
Welcoming her always through the new year
As I watch her blissful endless premiere

    Time for sporadic comment.

    My window if open, and I can smell autumn, so I was just drawn to this.

    Lines 9-12 the rhyme was a little...odd.

    The personification of autumn was very interesting. The dance being the ridding of the leaves was something I've never seen before, and is, well....very intrigueing.

    I would have to say that the first four lines were my favorite in a technical sense. Very flowy-ish. But I still like the idea of the dance.

    Beautiful write.

    I absolutley loves poems about autumn. And I think your rhyming is impecible. I really liked this poem. The imagery is amazing, and I can picture everything you write. Also all the personification of the trees is good too. Keep up the good work.
