Autumn Beckons

Autumn beckons

with fiery silver winds

and blazing orange clouds.

Light and shadow swirl and dance

in a shower of looming darkness

and glorious sparks of diamond.

 

Air and Fire combine

in a maelstrom of power and life.

Winds bloom from the distant East,

carrying the heat of the rising sun.

 

Colors fade and blaze once more,

burning away from emerald and jade

to ruby and amber, gold and bronze.

Earth loses its hold on the world

as Fire rains down from the distant heavens.

 

Pink and white blossoms

from once-green trees

cascade downward

in a resplendent dance of colors.

The air is filled with tints and hues,

dazzling the world with life and love.

This is an exceptional work of art, I mean that in a literal way because when you one reads your words they easily canvas the image. The most incredible part of your writing is�

The opening statement is the attention grabber and blasted the image forward.
Nice write.

This is so amazing. Of course Autumn is my favorite season and this reflects everything so wonderfully. The imagery is superb! How can I not love this. This is yet another favorite. You're one of my favorite poets here and it's easy to see why!

Justin, this piece is fantastic, the ending brought the concept full circle
perfect as it should, to think in hues, pure imagery and insight,
a poem to sweep the reader away, keep it up.

Your imagery here is amazing, your fundamentals (refer to my essay in my profile), wonderful.

I like the colors and sounds, I am transported to the very imagery presented.


A wonderful piece.

All the colour symbolism and imagery adds the perfect touch to this
poem! Great job !! This one again, reminds me of Samhain. Which isn't
so far away. Keep it up ^_^

I love colors. And I love the imagery in this poem. You so eloquently bring all of its colors to life..... like I was watching an artist paint a picture... the paints all blending perfectly... softly.... ending in nature's masterpiece.

Lovely work Justin!!
