Autumn's Curtsy

Written as a Terza Rima (form)

 

Autumn's Curtsy (Terza Rima)   Sweet Autumn's whispers rustle resting trees To curtsy graciously through shortened days And paint a palette bright with colored leaves. In orange, red, and yellow's lovely blaze,  A whirlwind tosses summer's past aside Reminding all each season's but a phase. 'Neath morning's frost, green lawns appear to hide As pumpkins, grown rotund upon the vine, Aspire to be the finest ever eyed. October thirty-first stands next in line With children planning trick-and-treat to come In costumes made with just the right design. To passing seasons, Autumn must succumb December hears the march of winter's drum. By Sharon Miller Bolander    © 2008 Peggy Paris (All rights reserved)

THIS is absolutely stunning! And a Terza Rima! I've always wanted to write one. What a lovely poem! So beautifully pained with colorful images. I can almost see the pumpkins and smell the cool, fall air. Nice job! Oh, and I LOVE the title. Superb!
