Cold Winds Of Autumn

Autumn chill on the air
Leaves fluttering on the ground
Silently gathering in reds and yellows
Overhead the passing geese sound

Sheets of cold rain falling
Naked trees claw at the grey sky
Dried husks of plants twitch in the wind
In the cold night coyotes cry

Author's Note

We'll be wishing for the brisk chill of autumn soon enough.

[Aethereal]

This is an extraordinarily beautiful poem. It inspired me to write another rendition of it which you may keep as your own as a gift since it uses all of your ideas and some of your words: Each line has /0/0/0/ syllable meter where / is an accent, and 0 is a non-accent: It may be sung as a song:

Autumn

Chilly Fall winds form soft beds
where leaves flutter on the ground,
yellows mix with browns, and reds,
overhead loud geese resound.

Sheets of hail begin to fall
Dried husks twitch below the sky.
Naked trees claw at this pall,
as coyotes shout their cry.

Thanks. Much appreciated. I like your poem!

[Black Cat Fever]

I felt the refreshing breath of autumn chill. I am looking forward to fall. Bet it will be just as wet
as it is now (spring). Good work on creating this poem.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

Beautiful fall imagery.
And yes, I am already looking forward to it!
Fabulous poem.
