Hibiscus petals softly feel the Autumn breeze

When Hibiscus Petals softly play the chords of Autumn. 

my Heart blossoms to kisses of persuasion placed on 

feathers sweetly spread to feel the warmth of 

falling raindrops of passions gift of Romance... 

Blackberry Merlot Hibiscus Wine will fill your Mind 

with visions of Goblins wandering among the Pumpkins 

smiling with the "glow" of Black Cat eyes and cries 

of screeching Owls on Halloween.  

Author's Note

Gather blossoms while you may... the end of Summer days...

Hibiscus is such an amazing flower!
I loved the visions of those Goblins wandering among the Pumpkins with glowing cat eyes, dear Pat. Having read Enid Blyton voraciously all my childhood, I have developed such a connection with these fairy folk. The Goblins, elvs, brownies and pixies are so pretty.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful poem.

dear DIVYA… I have succumbed to a strawberry blonde Pixie-like haircut and it suits my Moods. Flowers seduce the Sun when Fairies frolick.. like Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the Sea.. he frolicked in the Noonday Sun in a land called Hollaly Always love 💗 your Reviews.. tenderly, Pat

Wow, You paint a beautiful picture that is the start of autumn

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Dale… I love Autumn and the Colors of Trees with dancing Leaves. Thanks for leaving your Heart 💜 Prints. gently, Pat

[Relic]

Your poetry is always so soothing and comforting to read, Patricia.

Well done. :)

dear Relic… I appreciate your Review… we need to be Calm and believe in the Spirit of our Country .. making good decisions for our Country. The Madness that gives us “no accounting” of who can enter our Country… leaves us with Prayers to be answered. Be Brave and we will do the Best we can under the Circumstances. Poetry can be a Prayer. tenderly, Pat

well Pat I must say you are in a much finer mood about autumn than I am. Glad to have read your sweet-scented poem on the beauty of a season I don't ever look forward to.

dear Ken… I am happy that my poem is sweetly scented on the Beauty of Autumn. We must Pray that good decisions will be made by our Citizens and Politicians. Wishing you Sunshine with just enough Rain. tenderly, Pat

A reminder dear Pat that we are moving towards Halloween and the vibrant colour of pumpkin lanterns. However the hibiscus is a most beautiful flower and still speaks to me of summer. Such delicate soft petals and the one I used to have in my garden was lilac. Such a beauty it was too. Your poem fills me with beautiful imagery and a touch of sadness too for things and people missing. Just lovely.

dear Chris... now I can sleep like a Bumblebee.... all buzzed out... knowing that Nature is still blooming with Hibiscus in Lavender an Rose. So many of our friends and loved ones have passed on. Each Season will remind us of their Kindness. I feel them in the Wind and see their smile as the Sun sets. We have three large Rose Orange Pumpkins and Chrysanthemums along our Brick Walkway. I love to see the Children dressed in Costumes.... praying for lovely Weather. Nice to have you back from your Marina. You are the Theatrical Director of all the Actors that read their Lines and create Rhymes. tenderly, Pat

Sometime your words flow like a brook and sound smoothly like the water as it washes over the rocks. Lovely write! Thanks for sharing! Temp

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Temp... your review gave me a sense of well-being... reminding me of clear water bubbling over rocks that my friend and I enjoyed running through on Hot Summer days. By the way, I was advised by a Poet friend to add a bit of Intrique to my poem. So I changed the ending to be for Halloween. Thanks Temp for your charming review. gently, Pat

[Temperance]

I like the addition to your poem. You could probably make this a seasonal poem just by changing the end. 🙂 Well done.

[Patricia Wedel]

Actually... I dress for the Weather which changes constantly. So my poems at times... are ready for whatever makes you Rock.

You have a wonderful connection to words, seen in the intricate weaving of sounds and connotations. The only stumble I had was in the last line, the use of perfect and perfection does not seem to add enough intrigue to warrant to reuse of the word, in my head. Unless I am just being obtuse, inn which case I hope you will illuminate me.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear "softly fall"... I would love to have "intrigue" in my poem... so I will make a change (as we speak) by making a change on WC site. Thanks for working with me. I am still a Novice, but would love to write with a pinch of intrigue and mystery. gently, Pat

[softlyfall]

You have a wonderful command of language. I imagine you can do anything literary that you set your mind to. I love words and to see them used so well is brain food that I crave

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Amy (if I may call you)... you are Indeed a Nightingale that could change the World with her Song. I believe you have a Bag" of Magic that can grow new beginnings. I am blessed with "sadness"; however, I want to make others smile. I am discovering how a person can evolve even while aging. Quite a challenge. I am amazed at your Gift Writing. truly, Pat

A last fleeting glimpse of summer, before the thought of autumn becomes a reality once more.
Seasons merge for me these days, as we had our first snow in September, ut ever so rarely we get an almost summer like day where we can pretend about happier days.
Hibiscus wine is a new one on me though, must look it out.

dearest Lorry… the Figure Head on a Ship 🚢 knows the Weather and change of Seasons.,. within Reason. Snow is Pure like a White Dove… Your Review is carried by an Eagle from your Lair.. Majestic gesture is held in great esteem. gently, Pat
