Umbrella of Crimson Red

Umbrella of Crimson Red

 

 

lay with me

in this cusp of autumn

beneath an umbrella of crimson red

oh, how the trees are lovely

this time of year,

vermilion leaves pirouetting down

in a whirlwind dance

scrapbooking pages

for  poets

and sages.

You've painted another vivid art piece. One with a view into nature's unending beauty! I love all shades of red, its primal! Thank you for this gift, 🎋 Maria

Oh Kelly, this is a wonderful write. Not only the imagery is intense in its colour, but I see the movement of leaves. How delicious to lay there, what an invitation.
Hope all is well in your world.

Hello, Chris! I was thrilled to have caught a vortex of leaves dancing in the wind the other day. I'll never forget the feeling of awe it gave me. I am well, anticipating the coming of Christmas, and all it encompasses. So wonderful to have you here. Thank you, and an early Merry Christmas wish to you!

[Chris Shaw]

I really must learn to sip more slowly of your ink mistress K .. and likewise to savour every drop which of course is almost impossible not to .. however, I must also confess upon my first reading enroute to the shower .. I read it too quick and for a micro moment came over all unnecessary like someone had slipped an acid tab in my Cola .. I felt so much better the second time round .. Take care M'lady and write on ..

[Kelly Scheppers]

what a 'colorful' Autumn poem Kelly. You made me feel I was under that umbrella, watching leaves dance to an imagined Chopin melody. this is a very sensual poem and one I will put in my scrapbook, along with some leaves.

Thank you, Curt! I got a video the other day of a wind vortex gathering up leaves. I was so thrilled to record it. Autumn is such a beautiful time of year. I'm really going to hate to see it go!
