Autumn In Heaven Poem by Linda Marie Van Tassell

Autumn In Heaven

Rating: 5.0


Autumn uplifts her golden samovar
spilling amber across the maple trees.
Her hair flutters like flaming cinnabar
or soft skeins of silk in the morning breeze.
Her breath is a blossom of misty rain.
Her eyes are jade lanterns of willow green,
and her lips are kissed with a berry stain
or first blush of love in a virgin queen.
I see her shiver beneath glittered sleeves
as smokestacks rise into the early sky,
and prayer boats are made of fallen leaves
on a lake of tears that falls from her eye.
Thunderstruck am I on thoughts of levin.
Heaven on earth is autumn in heaven.

You don't see my applause. I see in your poem Virgin letters, spring of poetry in poem about the sublime feeling. You played the words like spilling pearls and and you don't regret it. I bow down for poet's soul. P.S. Read again what Sandra Feldman wrote about your poem and believe: " Sandra is a real judge who never act."

Linda Marie Van Tassell, I love the words that you chose. You are indeed a great writer. I am particularly touched (profoundly) by your life story. I am quoting you: " I appreciate the most important thing of all in life, that one thing which is easily overlooked in today's society - love. I live my life to love and be loved. All else falls to the wayside." , wrote Linda Marie Van Tassell. Merci beaucoup! Hebert Logerie 2/21/2020
