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.
I too have felt the mood of old November roofs........here in the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland. Autumn is the time that must be written about....so full of life... and death. It is a humbling time that stops us thinking we are invincible... yet still gives us hope. See 'Autumnal' Thank You
This is an excellent Nature poem with beautiful imagery.A 10!
First of all, the title of your poem enticed me toward its conceptual theme and the fascination within your thoughts give it an impetus that is hard to go by without noticing..........the softer side of a gentle spirit wafts through to spread the warmth of a special feel of nobility of vision embarks on wings of autumn that you fly on. Bewitching thoughts, thanks - arya
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
