The Stage of Autumn

Upon the rustic stage of autumn

graceful leaves perform their ballet

 

as they tip toe toward winter

in an allegro con spirito way~

 

Fragrant embers intoxicate

the wind within the majestic sky

 

as jack o lanterns light the stage

ballerinas in the wind dance by~

 

She practices her pirouettes

in her tutu of gold and reds

 

Naked limbs dance their arabesque

upon the gingery stage of autumn~

You have created a ballet of gorgeous images. I love nature poems and I don't think I will ever look at a falling leaf the same way again. This truly is lovely.

Softly flowing hushed breezes mix with the colored leaves as I read this, Rose. The ballerina was a nice surprise. Imagery was so vivid with this one. What a magical picture this created for me! Nice work. Angi~

Your descriptions of the colors of autumn are exquisite and paint scenes from Mother Nature's palette with a cacophony of hues that make us think of all with awe as we too dance with wonder of the season!
Beautiful!! I must take time to look for the ballet dancer on the stage of tomorrow's sunset!
