Fall’s arrived in autumn’s fashion
And the senior floras
Graduated
Wearing the collegiate insignias
Of scarlet and gold
...
(Plus a little hazelnut
interwove)
Then, when the season drafts pickup
Leaflets flutter freely like
Paper birds
Leaving the trees for their own Destiney
Like salmon of the ground
Still there’s a calm, to this overripe Eden
The fields and the meadows
Are kaleidoscope
Cathedrals
That I realize
And the cluster of trees
Look like brush stroked
Acrylics
As if my eyes are a
Portrait of some Gods
Impressionist statement
It’s when I’m walking
Down the driveway
And I see each maple
Is its own Boutique
And the earth
is a Seascape tapestry
of antique colors
October is a keyhole
In heavens backyard
For now is the season of
Waltzing pulchritude
And I know if I were to die
Seeing the world beyond the light
It would lead me into
An Autumn Paradise
Land salmon and overripe Eden....I am reminded of Heaney. Your work has always been amazing... but it just does get better and better.
What a lovely poem about Autumn's beauty and allure. But what stands out is this phrase: October is a keyhole in heaven's backyard. We can peek through this keyhole and catch a glimpse of the heaven that lies beyond. Without a doubt, Autumn is one of Nature's finest gifts, wrapped in ribbons of dazzling color. I truly enjoyed reading this fine poem.
And I know if I were to die Seeing the world beyond the light It would lead me into An Autumn Paradise Verily, a fine imagery of Autumn, similitude of a heavenly paradise. Loved reading and commenting ...........................10
