Autumn sound

A symphony of colours.

Voices that keep quit

from words fallen leaves

silent colours flutter down

 

further on chatters

only the stream uphill

against the sword-grass or a tree

 

take something red, something yellow

meandering in velocity

it’s full of sound

and supposition

 

becoming brown, browner still

 

till they are earth

and sink between the cobblestones

for ever drowned in autumn.

Fall is my favorite season . It has something to do perhaps with those arrays of exploding colours . Just makes the scene bursting with life and gladness . Here you wrote that colours have sounds . Perhaps they fo sends messages same way we send message when we give someone a flowers . I tried to pen a piece but I lack the vocabulary to even capture the beauty of the thought or scene . But yiou did so well here Rudi . Thanks for sharing your interest and talent .

I love your use of colors
How you blend them into this palate of words
To arrive at the perfect shades of Autumn
Magical write

Well expresses the delight and dread of the fall season. Vibrant color like a funeral cortege before the going to earth.
