As if the Heavens scattered some gold on earth
Glistening beneath the sunshine..
Were leaves in yellow, scarlet, brown
Marking the joy of the season's birth,
The trees decked with a golden crown..
One by one, and then in a row,
The painted leaves came tumbling down..
With crisp rustles in the whistling breeze,
They spread a carpet, grand and slow..
Cheering their way with utmost ease.
The clouds above seeing the glow
Of ruby and gold in guise..
Down they sent, drizzles few
Yearning to join the august show..
Which the angels from Heavens threw..
The celebrated season is here atlast
Drenching the land with hue..
Songs of Spring, whispers, from Summers past
And the flakes of Winter due..
Together they rejoice the Autumn Feast!

100th Hood-Wink Celebrations!
A excellent Autumn poem, with captivating metaphors and rich imagery...the season of autumn is so impressive, full of beauty in the dying leaves...you have penned some quality lines, far too many for me to re-type here, but one stands out above the rest 'They spread a carpet, grand and slow...'

very good
Nice tribute to autumn. I especially like the second stanza and the image of the carpet.
I like the rhyming lines, but I was wondering if the rhythm might be more even if you wrote the poem using quatrains instead.
Anyway, nice work!
