Bright end of autumn

Cherry

Blue sky after dark days
of cloud and rain and foggy haze,
but now the golden sunshine glints
on the few remaining shaking leafy tints,
and red and golden leaves make splatter patterns
upon the muddy mulch
until the footsteps squash and squelch
artistic decor fleeting,
and as last leaves are shed and blown
floating, drifting, fluttering down
the beauty they concealed
of elegant trunk and branches curved and twisted, gaunt
are now exposed, revealed.

ah - so you've also been living in the anticyclonic gloom Rhiannon - it's been horrible hasn't it? Beautiful words and pics as always, and a big welcome back to the sunshine!

"golden sunshine glints" is perfect - you always find exactly the right words! And your wonderful tree photo to show what you describe.

Thanks. Having not been out very much, and the weather having been so overcast and many autumn colours I think prematurely lost, we just noticed and loved every treasure scene, and the lighting up of colours with the darker bare trees in the background. And lots of photogenic little scenes to catch! Rhiannon

Thank  you, Tom. As said above we have had such a lot of windy, wet and overcast weather, that we maybe more appreciate the brighter autumnal time. I hope you are enjoying the progress of your spring! Rhiannon

Beautiful poem, beautiful pics.

Wonderful images and you have captured aspects of the season so well, of course.

Just lovely, Rhiannon.

I like the descriptive language you used in this poem. The canvas of leaves does not last long in the Fall. Nature recycles and regenerates. You captured that process well in your poem. Have a verry cherry day.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I have been out at a funeral of dear friends, which proved an occasion of much reunion and lovely fellowship with many old friends!

I will try to look at your posting tomorrow. Rhiannon
