November falls mildly this year, and smiles
On afternoon strolls, beckoning boldly
Through grey clouding skies, as mile upon mile
Surrounds us, in stylish profusion, yet bringing
More mellowed finery cocooned under
Ageing, untidy greens. Fashioned now in
Patches of yellowy gorse, which blunders
Pushily through hedgerows of sun-weary
Browns, with praiseworthy splashes of brighter
Than buttercup flowers, they lighten dreary
Old blackberry bushes, now ready for striking
Their own winter pose. Buzzard flies low, scans
Lacy trees, ready naked for Autumn's planned
Passionless sleep. It seems lust for growing
Must be on hold. Miniscule diamonds float
Mistily down, quickly wetting the ground,
So, taking our cue, we leave without sound.

This is lovely Fay, A beautiful portrait of Autumn. You will see Autumn theme repeated many many times in my work. It is my favorite season of all. With such a bounty of beauty and delight how can a poet Not love Autumn? thank you for sharing this one. Susan
Simply breath-taking! I went along this stroll seeing wild flowers and tasting berries interpreting it as my own experience. Your poems are a mind-expanding treat! The following speaks of you being one with the landscape...it suggests the illimitability of our ability to be one with the nature... 'So, taking our cue, we leave without sound' Just so the right way to end it
Great poem. Thought provoking. I, not being from England-had to look up the word gorse. Still-a great poem. God bless all poets-MJG.
