Amber red leaves drifted
Over graves unmarked
As they gently lifted
Unsung spirits parked
Tranquil zephyr blowing
Softly hummed a tune
Showered kisses glowing
Up towards the moon
Days and nights went flying
With sweet scented hues
There is no denying
Autumn’s wild-eyed muse
Now the shades are leaving
Towards some new place
Whilst the Gods are weaving
Blankets of white lace
Midst of milky patches
Naked trees stand tall
As a note despatches
To Winter, from Fall
Ghosts rising from slumber
Greet a snowy day
Starry flakes of wonder
Drizzle down the way
*~*Posted for the 21st week of One Shot Wednesday, hosted by Pete. Please do check it out! It’s consistently amazing!!*~*
*** Also posted for Leo’s Z to A Challenge – letter F (for Fall and for Fading)… Again, a MUST VISIT !!***
How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
Your poem is almost magical. You really bring out beautifully the transition from winter to fall. Really really loved this one, simply beautiful in every way!
It’s not yet snowing… But the chills sure have over the weather 🙂 And I sooooo love it at this time of the year!!
Well, I am all set to step into into this magical world of winter, DP… I wish you could join me…

Uh oohhhh… I guess the beautiful weather here made me write this one today, AB… I have no idea what my words will be like after a few days from now though (when it gets REALLY cold) 🙂
I hope you are surrounded by warmth and goodness, my friend… And am very happy you enjoyed this poem.. Thank you!!!

Gee… thanks for being so sweet to me, Pete.. I am super happy you liked this piece!
Cheers!
A lovely way of showing the transition between autumn and winter… Blankets of white lace sounds so romantic – I do love snow when it’s falling and still fresh, but in the city it gets messy so fast. Awesome pic!
hehehe.. I totally get where you are coming from, Ruth.. When I wrote this poem, it wasn’t really snowing here (in fact, it still isn’t) .. maybe that’s what made it look so pretty and delightful… oh… but then I do love winters!! Time to cozy up… don’t you think? 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this read, my dear… Thank you soooo much for your kind words here… your comments are always a treasure!
Your lines are perfect for the series of images beside it. Such a dreamlike quality and fluidity to it. Kind of a mythological feel to the post. You always rock. Hope you know that. (I regret not being able to stop by as often as I used to). Miss ya, Kavita. Happy Thanksgiving
Gee.. Adam, it’s so nice to see you here! I was beginning to wonder where you might have disappeared! 🙂 But please, no need to regret anything… Here, I will always welcome you with the same enthusiasm anytime you stop by… 🙂
Thank you for the kind and ever pleasant words here… It’s nice to know that you enjoyed this poem so much… I was trying to get used to the falling temperatures outsides and that’s what inspired me to write this one! 🙂 I must say, I soooo love winter!!
I hope you have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving with near and dear ones… enjoy the treats and goodies! And relax! 🙂
Miss ya too… Looking forward to reading something at your place some time soon (it all depends on you ofcourse)
Cheers!
