Poem for autumn


Hues of golden brown fall from trees
Dancing in a frenzy swirling around.
Foreboding clouds sail on blustery winds,
A watery sun slides behind one, it rains.

The dew soaked grass feels soft as silk
Shrouding the valley, a ghostly grey mist.
Just for a breath the sun rests on tree tops
Climbing slowly for a new autumn day.

  1. Bright and sunny in this corner of the world...a break before the retreating monsoon closes in!

  2. Your words are pure autumn Julian, describing the gold that it brings as flora gives up the ghost and settles itself to sleep through the chill.
    My winter coat is calling me from the wardrobe...
