The crescent moon shows
his twinkle
As the trees shiver in
moonlight
Ground below dry hear
the crinkle
Quiet valley endures
her plight
Days ago, the foliage
was bright
As golden leaves
trimmed in deep red
Brings to one a
beautiful site
Not thinking the leaves
are now dead
Autumn left us alone
and bare
With promise of new birth
again
After springs flowers
bloom with flair
Fields will flourish
with their new grain
Each season has its own
rebirth
Creatures wake to a
brand new dawn
Bumblebee’s work colors
the earth
Welcomes birth of a new
born fawn

Thank you Karen - yes, you are my best supporter. What would I do without you???...rg
ReplyDeleteI thought I left a comment on this poem. My computer must have erased it. At any rate I especially loved your rhyming poem as it is my favorite form, but golly trying to stick to eight syllables for each line I would think would really be an added challenge. I am reminded how some women think they are just wonderful, dressed in their fancy attire with loads of make up and the like and don't even realize they are asleep when it comes to the things that are really important like a loving, kind heart. Oh I pray I never judge on appearances however, because one never knows another's true heart unless it is revealed. Funny that an autumn poem could make me think deeper. I too want to congratulate you on passing your 33,000 mark.

Thank you Charlene for the endepth comment - I appreciate your support and thoughts. Yes, I agree with you - with the ladies here where I live, I wish they would close their mouths and appreciate the beauty around them. They haven't a clue. Blessings...rg
