Autumn's End

Autumn's End

A Poem by Walter Scott Morrison
"

Just a poem that always brings me back to late November

"

Autumn’s End

 

A morning’s pale yellow sun,

A lingering faded moon,

Trapped motionless blistering my eyes,

Shimmering in the morning dew,

The fields all awakening,

As golden rays fall across the earth,

Autumned leaves of the chestnut trees,

Bursting color in its birth,

White and violet blossoms,

Vacillating in the wind,

As the leaves begin to stray,

From every crimson brim,

The air becomes crisp,

The sky a somber gray,

Snowflakes begin drifting down,

At the end of autumn’s day

Outstanding imagery throughout-- very rich in texture. Love the nature quality here. Creative use of the words "awakening" and "birth". Usually these words are you know the end of winter and beginning of spring. That's cool how you flip floped it to may it more unique know what I mean.

Very Keatsian. I do like the colors of autumn because they're different than at any other time, and that makes them lovely. After that, the soft reminisces end for me ... but if I were a fall girl, this would be what I'd think. Good rhyme here.

I do love Autumn..like a rebirth of sorts
before the winter. The cool crispness, the
mystery that seems to lay in the dark colored
clouds..I just love it.

This is a great poem, a welcoming of sorts.
Love these lines:The fields all awakening,
As golden rays fall across the earth,
Fallen leaves of the autumned trees,
Bursting color in its birth,
Not everyone bashes, and you seem like a
talented writer to me...keep up the
good work~Amy

Fall is my absolute favorite season, but I also love the transition between the seasons and how it smells. I can almost feel myself wanting the change to happen just a little faster. This is wonderfully written, and flows nicely.

I'm a huge geek that loves art and literature. I love to read and write and watch star wars. There isn't anything better than writing under a tree in the autumn. I'm strange because all I care about.. more..
