(landscapes Collection).... Autumn Sky

Rating: 4.0


Against the lemon sky,
an oak, naked in delicate black lace,
attended by bruised peach fluff.
A teal blue sky between.

The face of the scarred moon,
early risen above a gable roof, is bloated,
glowing like a battered pearl.
Black bats dart across its pallid disc
and purple clouds are neon-lit too soon.

Enjoyable to read your rendition of this scene with your artistic talent. Years ago I stopped and realize that there was something special about trees in their nakedness. This line stands out for me: 'an oak, naked in delicate black lace'

Your word palette paints a rich and evocative picture of an autumn sky - beautiful imagery abounds in this short yet intensely vivid poem. jz xx
