Autumns Glory

Missing image

 

 

 

Autumn’s glory fills our eyes

a carpet neath our feet,

grass is kissed by mornings dew

mist as a silken sheet.

 

Crispness to the morning air

sun still pale and wan,

filters through the dying leaves

shadows soon be gone.

 

Deserted now, devoid of life

nature soon to sleep,

a blanket of the purest snow

to cover slumbers deep.

 

Mists and mellow fruitfulness

the earth shall come to rest,

one blink, our eyes a camera,

see nature at her best.

 

So here we sit in solitude

our eyes behold the view,

creation in it’s glory

a show for me and you.

    Lovely autumn poem - my second favourite season. Great rhyming and flow and descriptions of the season to match that beautiful scene in the picture. All the best in the contest.

    This is a lovely poem which made me think of those wonderful crisp autumn mornings that are just around the corner. I think autumn is our most beautifuls season in the UK with dew on the spider webs (I like spiders) glorious red and gold trees and as you say "mist as a silken sheet" which lifts to leave us with warm sunny days. This poem says so much to me between the lines and "our eyes a camera" capture this magnificent scene to enjoy so much. Good luck in the contest
