Autum's Ball

A poem for the autumn dance..

Autumn's Ball


Come now, to Autumn's ball
And marvel as the oak's leaves fall 
Adorned in scarlet and crimson attire 
With beauteous grace, their dance does inspire 

An intricate waltz as they glide to the ground
To the orchestra of the blackbird's sound
The forest's ensemble, melodies sung sweet
That resounds through the woods, a steady beat

Sycamores sway to elegant sound
As their hands intertwined, and by passion, are bound
Enlightened by light, dancing across their form
Within its body and soul the light did adorn 

 And as I indulged on the alluring display
Such a delightful scene that before did play
Within Autumn's ball I became entranced
As golden leaves and sycamores danced

A beautiful and compelling poem with marvelous imagery and good use of rhyming.

[Uday Kanungo]

This certainly is marvellous. The poetic description is very lively, and the flow of the poem is commendable as well.

You are a Prodigy. This is one of my favorite Eva . You imagined well how leaves fall from the trees and as they glide towards the ground a ballet and waltz and ballroom dance ensued as wind and breeze and gravity gently twist and rotates the leaves and soften their descend to the barren forest floor. While blackbirds doing the DJ Band . Only you and you alone could vividly imagine and paint and capture such scene and pictures with such clarity in poetic language just the stroke of your pen and imagination . Its like watching high definition TV. I like the swaying of the sycamore leaves and trees.

They always say that a picture paints a thousand words . I think in my own humble opinion this old saying can now be refuted . With just your pen and words captures a thousand pictures . No need for a digital camera . Truly remarkable .

In a few places, the rhythm is sketchy, like the first stanza, "Adorned in scarlet and crimson attire, With beauteous grace their dance does inspire." If you said that out loud, you would know what I mean. I'm not an expert, so don't take my word for it! ;) I really REALLY liked it though, and you are a great poet! I almost felt like I was dancing along with them! I love Autumn, and wrote a poem (not really like this one) that also describes it, but not in half as much beauty as you did! :) Keep up the good work! ;)

[Eva Rosehill]

As a young writer, I very much appreciate your suggestions of improvement, they are very helpful at such an early stage for a writer such as myself, thank you! I am very glad you enjoyed it.

[Calibaster]

You're welcome! And I really did love it! :)
