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 ofย 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 !!***

as always a wonderful write…thanks for sharing…pete
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? ๐
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! ๐ But please, no need to regret anything… Here, I will always welcome you with the same enthusiasm anytime you stop by… ๐
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! ๐ 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! ๐
Miss ya too… Looking forward to reading something at your place some time soon (it all depends on you ofcourse)
Cheers!
