The Allure of Autumn Trees

As sizzling skies of summer
dispensed more heat through hills
October seized its chilly reign
amending heat to chills.

Majestic trees of birch in sway

along the far off trail,
released a mass of florid leaves
that mounted in the dale.

Each brittle souring parasail 
rotated through their whirls
and nose-dived as a regiment
in long befuddled twirls.

Yet, if a blitz of bitter snow
must always take a stance
winter flakes cannot replace
this autumn tree romance.

Autumn gives us poets much to celebrate with her majestic hues. Your poem speaks to those of us who adore her so!

Thank you, I'm really glad you liked this.

I love the ebb and flow and how every line feels like I'm a tree just rocking back and forth in the wind. It's so calming and crisp. Excellent choice of diction throughout, made me feel like I was reading Wordsworth come back to spend one last day about the forests. Favoriting to read again on a chilly autumn day!
