Umbrella of Crimson Red

Umbrella of Crimson Red

A Poem by Kelly Scheppers

Umbrella of Crimson Red

 

 

lay with me

in this cusp of autumn

beneath an umbrella of crimson red

oh, how the trees are lovely

this time of year,

vermilion leaves pirouetting down

in a whirlwind dance

scrapbooking pages

for  poets

and sages.

Hello dear Kelly and you are welcome.
Oh Kelly, this is a wonderful write. Not only the imagery is intense in its colour, but I see the movement of leaves. How delicious to lay there, what an invitation.
Hope all is well in your world.

Pretty and descriptive and the little rhyming finish just makes it perfect. ~Jim

I really must learn to sip more slowly of your ink mistress K .. and likewise to savour every drop which of course is almost impossible not to .. however, I must also confess upon my first reading enroute to the shower .. I read it too quick and for a micro moment came over all unnecessary like someone had slipped an acid tab in my Cola .. I felt so much better the second time round .. Take care M'lady and write on ..
