Poetry Friday: Autumn Celebrity
Green says goodbye.
as I waltz in;
the great fall dance,
set to begin.
In morn' I rise
into the sky,
to shine a light
you can't deny.
I'm the lead of
Halloween shows,
showcased on porches
with eyes aglow.
I dress flowers
and brighten leaves,
dotting mountains,
covering trees.
I crackle in fires.
I dance in flames.
I am the spark,
you cannot tame.
I arrive with friends:
crimson and gold.
I am the one,
whose color is bold.
As nights grow cool,
both near and far;
I am orange.
I am the star.

It's Poetry Friday! Today’s roundup is hosted by Linda Baie at Teacher Dance. She's hosting a Halloween party so I thought I'd pay a little tribute to the colors of fall. Stop by to enjoy some poetry and/or leave a link.
Autumn is a little bit full of herself, but then, she really is all that, so we'll allow it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, who knew she'd be even more spectacular with time to enjoy her visit?!!
DeleteYou continue to amaze me with your talent!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs their mom to be their hype girl!
DeleteBeautiful voice, Cathy. There is much to celebrate as we move through the seasons!
ReplyDeleteI do love the seasonal transition times. (I could live without the hot hot of summer and the cold cold of winter. Ha!)
DeleteI have fallen for your fall poem Cathy. Autumn's voice is strong, self assured and decidedly confident.
ReplyDelete'I arrive with friends:
crimson and gold.
I am the one,
whose color is bold.'
Says it all really...
Thank you, Alan.
DeleteOh, what a drama queen Autumn is...well done.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly is, but wait to winter blows onto the scene. Bahahaha.
DeleteAutumn sounds like a seductress - all confidence and invitation to beguile and bedazzle.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly does steal the show!
DeleteAutumn is quite the celebrity. Unabashed about it. I love the last two lines.
ReplyDeleteShe really is all that. Ha!
DeleteI have to say I love your word "unabashed" with Kat's "beguile and bedazzle."
I love the voice in this! Totally matches orange!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. I decided to try a mask poem for this one. Before I knew it I was feeling the sass of orange.
