Climatical Decay Poem by Ernestine Northover

Climatical Decay

Rating: 5.0


There’s a slight nip felt in the air,
And a feeling that one’s aware
Of a change now, in the seasons,
For there’s certainly many reasons.

There’s a diffusion of leaves around,
Twigs too, tumbling to the ground,
As the winds swirl, dance and tease,
Among the branches of the trees.

There’s a sharpness lingering about,
And now no one can be in doubt,
That Mr Frost is on his way,
With his sparkling white display.

There’s a sense of climatical decay,
Seen on boughs that one can survey,
Autumn’s entering upon our scene,
Giving contrast to all that's green.

There’s a golden time ahead,
Ranging from yellow and orange to red,
And the glowing warm russet shades,
Weave such rich and subtle brocades.

There’s a crispness beneath the feet,
And so summer makes its sad retreat,
Handing its plush vast arena, over to
The next incumbent, with a task to do.

'Climatical Decay' is a new way to look at the seasons, Ernestine. This poems makes me want to walk along those color-laden boughs with the crispness beneath my feet. What a delight! Raynette

Radiance grandeur, young lass! This is a poetic paradigm of how a skilled Poet can virtually tap all 5 senses of the Reader with the right employment of imagery. Excellent work, Poetess E. FjcR
