The Allure of Autumn Trees

As sizzling skies of summer

dispensed more heat across the hills,
October seized chilly reign
exchanging heat for chills.

Majestic trees of birch, in sway,
along the distant trail,
released a mass of florid leaves
that mounted in the dale.

Each brittle, colorful parasail,
rotated through their whirls,
and nose-dived as a regiment
in swirling twirls.

Yet if a blitz of bitter snow
will always make its stance,
winter flakes cannot compare to
this autumn tree romance.

Autumn gives us poets much to celebrate with her majestic hues. Your poem speaks to those of us who adore her so!

I love the ebb and flow and how every line feels like I'm a tree just rocking back and forth in the wind. It's so calming and crisp. Excellent choice of diction throughout, made me feel like I was reading Wordsworth come back to spend one last day about the forests. Favoriting to read again on a chilly autumn day!
