Amber leaves drift softly down,
Crisp air hums through fading town.
Golden dusk ignites the skies,
Whispers linger, daylight dies.

Branches bow in fleeting flame,
Morning frost forgets its name.
Harvest moon begins her reign,
Autumn stirs the earth again.

    This is a lovely autumn poem, Carol Anne. Did you write a syllabic form to accompany your freestyle poem? ☮️

    The reverence of your words contradicts perfectly with the sing song nature of the poem’s lyrical quality. Loved this.
