I've read in ancient forest,

sung to Autumn's fallen leaves

that blew away with ease

in October's breeze,

 

I could recite Autumn by Keats

with significance if I had voice

and courage of fine poet,

or musician standing

on street corner

tuneful with guitar,

 

not rich in money

but wealthy

in harmonious

rhythm and rhyme,

 

with sparkling eyes like

finest white champagne,

wrapped up warm

against sweeping chills,

words dancing in uncorked mind.

Thinking not only loud but with a crystal clear mind, Jenny.  A lovely lyrical and flowing autumnal poem. Much enjoyed.

The enjoyment of both harmonious words and rhythm and rhyme, and views of nature around, especially in autumn  giving delight to the eyes and mind like bubbling champagne! Rhiannon

As you know Autumn is my favourite time of year, so I just wrote this poem with the month in mind, and I do so love that poem by Keats, it sums up everything about the month. He writes the way I feel.

Thank you for stopping by to read Rhiannon.

Your voice is marvellous, Jenny.  I too am a big Keats fan, fell in love with his writing at a young age. This was a joy to read.

Hi airyfairy,

I'm afraid I've got an awful voice when it comes to reading out loud, I'm a cross between Pam Ayers and someone who sends you to sleep. I tried reading the Hobbit to my partner, but he fell asleep and started snoring without even realizing, I don't blame him though my voice is very droll.

But like you I just love Keats and I'm glad you enjoyed my poem.

Thank you for reading and letting me know.

Jenny.
