Crunching colours.

Missing image

An array of reds, amber and

browns

            A few remaining greens

 - a collected collage of the

cycle of death,

crunching underfoot.

Bright rays of iridescence behind

greying cotton and watered skies.

Warm winds, cold air -

          the smell before rain.

Damp woodland painted with

the radiance of sun strokes.

Fragile stems of waning leaves

clinging onto trees, branches almost

naked.

Clear nights, glitter across an

empty canvas of black.

Breathing in freshness, tasting

Autumn on my tongue.


The last leaf falls, to complete

the art of dying-

                        Autumn calls.

Author notes

4- Write about the season of autumn. It's my favourite season and I'd love to see how others feel about it.

To be honest I could have written for loads! of those prompts, glad i got the chance. Chose this one because autumn is my favourite season as well, the poem is the reasons why. And this is an odd choice for me 0.o I don't think i have ONCE written a nature poem. hope this is alright anyhow.

    beautiful

    A very serene piece..i happen to love the intial onset off fall..but once that temp goes down too far, it's a wrap! good job my friend..

  • Laura!
    This is an awesome representative of America the Beautiful!
    This is more beautiful than any Rembrandt or Van Gogh I've ever seen. This is more than qualified to take the gold. It needs published in a book, it does!
    The line:
    "the smell before the rain" is an exceptional line too.
    You are exceptional, and one heck of a writer!

      Thank you very much for your comment and very nice compliments. Would like to note however this autumn poem wasn't specifically written about one place ^_^

      • I realize that. It just struck me as very Americana.
        "to complete
        the art of dying-"

        This is also a highly advanced poetic way of speaking. If you are writing this well now, we'll be seeing you at Barnes & Noble in the not too distant future. I want an autographed copy! (In the Fall)

          Ahh ok. I only said that as well, I've never been to America I'm glad you like it either way =)

  • This is beautiful! I don't write nature poems very often myself... so I think that's why I put the prompt up. This has amazing imagery and descprition. Good luck in my contest

      Thank you very much for the comment, I don't know where this came from and I can't say whether it came out good as I have nothing to compare it to, but I like it and I'm glad you do also
