As Autumn Runs Its Round Poem by Valsa George
As Autumn Runs Its Round
As summer reluctantly gives way
And autumn waits at the doorway
Visible changes come their way
Though they are not for long to stay
Cool is the wind that blows in soft hum
And leaves fall with the bee’s thrum
When they fall curling in hundreds down
In a deluge of colors, the lands drown
Some leaves are seen swirling afloat in space
And some fall softly across the landscape’s face
Of all the trees, the maple is a sight to relish
Which the eyes can never ever relinquish!
Orange and red, ochre and brown
Like the sparkling gems on a queen’s crown
In a variety of costumes the Earth parades
And everything, seen in a medley of shades
The trees are loaded with fruits ripe
And squirrels dart up to savour the pulp
Autumn is the season for gathering crop
When from the towering pines, acorns drop
As autumn tightens its strangling grip
And the blizzards blow in mightier sweep
The trees are stripped of all their leaves
And many a bird, deprived of its arbour, grieves
With the cruel bite of savage frost
Flowers fade and all their glamour, lost
As the days grow cold by and by
Birds in flocks begin to fly
They take on wings to warmer climes
Before the snowflakes fall in bits and piles
Soon the season falls into hushed silence
And waits for the winter with resilience!
Variety, we know, is life’s flavouring spice
And all seasons have their beauty and grace
But each has its own distress and decrement
And the only way to be happy is to be content
It's truly Wordsworthian poem. a message through Nature. Nature is the part of our spiritual being and teaches us lessons.
An autumn harvest that many of us cannot see in real has been well portrayed here. As the canvas is fair and the sketches are clear who else can be behind it than the one and only Valsa George.
Orange and red, ochre and brown Like the sparkling gems on a queen’s crown Season beautifully described and finishing the poem with a beautiful conclusion. Thank you.
Variety, we know, is life’s flavouring spice And all seasons have their beauty and grace But each has its own distress and decrement And the only way to be happy is to be content......so touching and true. This is a beautiful poem on Autumn having thrilling expression.Thanks for sharing.
OOPS! i should have said this will be in SECTION C of November's showcase; you already have one in Section B. bri :)
In 2015, winter begins on December 21,11: 48 P.M. EST. Get more information about the winter solstice below. (this refers to the Eastern U.S.) i grew up in New York state and i was surprised to see online the above sentence. i think of winter as starting sooner! SO, i guess blizzards*** could occur in the Fall/Autumn! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ***bliz·zard ˈblizərd/ noun noun: blizzard; plural noun: blizzards a severe snowstorm with high winds and low visibility. synonyms: snowstorm, whiteout, snow squall, snowfall; nor'easter, northeaster an overabundance; a deluge. a blizzard of legal forms - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - favorite lines, so far (and it’s not just because it mentions my favorite type of animal!) : “The trees are stripped of all their leaves And many a bird, deprived of its arbour, grieves” ………..and nice job using the commas. ;) “But each has its own distress and decrement And the only way to be happy is to be content” “decrement” (see below, and above) is a new word for me (I think) . I guess I understand its use here, though I believe many (especially in snowy-icy winter areas) would say winter and summer are the most severe in their pros and cons. as for “the only way to be happy is to be content”………. I LIKE THAT. I sometimes say I’m (almost) never “happy”, BUT I’m (almost) always “content”. :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - “dec•re•ment ˈdekrəmənt/ noun noun: decrement; plural noun: decrements 1. 1. a reduction or diminution. relaxation produces a decrement in sympathetic nervous activity o an amount by which something is reduced or diminished. the dose was reduced by 10 mg weekly decrements o Physics the ratio of the amplitudes in successive cycles of a damped oscillation. verb Computing verb: decrement; 3rd person present: decrements; past tense: decremented; past participle: decremented; gerund or present participle: decrementing 1. 1. cause a discrete reduction in (a numerical quantity) . the instruction decrements the accumulator by one “ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - nice rhyming (overall) and well-told closing and opening of two seasons. very graphic! this shall adorn (as multi-coloured/colored leaves adorn Autumn’s deciduous trees) Section B of my/our November’s “a showcase for PH poets”. thanks. bri :) bon voyage!
This poem is so beautifully written, it is going to be one of my favorite poem. Thank you-10+

Cool is the wind that blows in soft hum And leaves fall with the bee’s thrum When they fall curling in hundreds down In a deluge of colors, the lands drown how the words weave the magic spell of autumn! the last stanza is great wisdom.
