charmed by the crisp, cool air
alive with a musky
heavy laden scent of what's to come!
imagination dancing...
preparing...
rendering...
challenging the senses
awakening the muse
airing of the stale, old, dead...
reveling in the new
life quickened before its pending sudden halt
as it lays to rest at winter's edge
where dormant lies the earth
where souls retreat to regain
mother earth will once again be at rest
yet, at this moment
Autumn's joy is felt
with visions of country churches
painted hilltops of gold and crimson
morphing into skies rendered in vivid blues
till late day winds blow
churning skies of grey
tempting to wisk it ALL away
away...
away...
when ALL that is wanted
is for her to stay
Like lovers holding on as long as they can
whose stolen moments
while holding...
to Autumn's final dance
darling, do not go as Autumn does
rest in these arms
let them embrace you like the shroud of Autumn

HOH-LY SHEE-IT!!! That's all I have breath to say at this moment, Colleen--didn't mean to be rude...
Although your poems of late are still dancing around "she-and-he", word-workings are becoming more profound, and well...HOH-LY....MOH-LY,
Batman!
You can tell I'M IMPRESSED!
Peace, dear Calli.
Oh, Steve~ You are too funny!
thank you very much, you made me laugh and smile! and yeah, my words do dance around "she and he" a lot ;)...and the seasons, and well, emotions too ~ a hodge podge of living!

I have to agree with Steve, Calli. This has images that totally capture the season. I especially love these lines:
"life quickened before its pending sudden halt
as it lays to rest at winter's edge
where dormant lies the earth
where souls retreat to regain
mother earth will once again be at rest
yet, at this moment
Autumn's joy is felt"
Thank you for this one!
You bring color to grey with your beautiful words. Your writing transforms those shades into vibrant and beautiful hues. Loved it!!
Nicely weaved soul hid among the intricacies of words. I loved it.
"A veil delaying the day's entrance". As does your beautiful
poem, Calli. I'm in love with the
image of the church steeple peeking
through gold and crimson hilltops.
Ahhh...wonderful and refreshing!
And then the we get to the Lover,
whose presence may only last a
mere season, but oh what a season,
so worth it, to have one's soul
painted so lovinging and not to
mention so uniquely sexy.
(I've got a surprise for you at my side bar)
such beautiful writing Calli - always paints the soul.. beautifully :) Thank you, Katie,x
bravo!!!
Oh my Calli, this is the epitome of what I want an autumn poem to be. Your phrases are as romantic as the harvest moon itself. Just splendid sis. Just absolutely gorgeous.
Beautiful picture of Autumn and I am loving 'Like lovers holding on as long as they can
whose stolen moments paint the soul'
