You gave me autumn in an envelope.
The rich light burned within my bones like gold.
It sent the sun down with a vivid shout.
The air pulsated with its after glow.
I felt the mood of old November roofs,
Redolent with their Appalachian fires.
The dusk lasts long in West Virginia, Friend.
Its fall cannot be heard by human ears.
Stunning imagery. I love the light burning in the bones like gold. It gives such a depth to the feeling. And the gold settles nicely into Autumn, I feel. HG: -) xx
Absolutely stunning! You have a great understanding of human tolerance and way of expressing yourself as a true poet. This is touching and warm, and yet, you seem to find your way to any heart through words.
I love this poem, Sandra. It deals with two of my favorite things, fall and West Virginia. Best wishes Ron
this was a beautiful warm, colorful, and refreshing piece of poetry that only you could write.
From the first superior Line to the last 'You gave me Autumn in an envelope' and ' dusk falling unheard' holds between it an outstanding write.. I am sure autumn puckered up, planted kisses on your brow -
Amazing write...vivid imageries...give a surprising feel on read...the poem makes the reader sad on account of the depth inside it...and joyous on account of the sweetness of the scenes it brings before eyes...10
