~~Autumn's Picture~ (Green Trophy Honorable Mention)

Missing image
A crimson frame of autumn leaves
Outstanding 'neath the blue
Where rays of sunlight played
And colors of red and gold peeked through

They stretched across so lazily
In the woods throughout the day
And over the hills that climbed the west
The forest was in bright array

To the eyes of the beholder
It was such a beautiful scene
The trees all stood together
With leaves of red, gold and green

And before the setting of the sun
Colorful leaves reached out on high
To paint a picture lovely and fair
Called Autumn against the sky

And watching as the evening shade
Curtains closed across the day
I found Autumn's picture fair
Painted on my heart to stay

    and you have posted a very wonderful write against it. I love Autumn and I have been missing the colors of the season for a long time except in pictures and colorful poetry such as this. Thank you.

    Bravo young lady bravo, this is so beautiful and rich I almost felt the colors reaching for me. Another job well done. The beauty of a picture and words to blend with such harmony. Best of luck to you though luck should not be needed here. As always all my best to you, Rick

    I love autumn. It's my favorite season. But it's not here yet. I have yet to enjoy my summer.
    As always, I think your nature pieces are you best. You paint pictures of wonderful colors and peaceful feelings.

    A beautiful sketch of days down the road,
    but I still watch for tomatoes to turn red
    in the throes of a slow growing season!

    You captured Autumn nid-color, nid-beauty!!!

    Love and hugs to you, dear Susan,
