Of all the ways and grace of Earth,

We give thanks for autumn’s birth

In ripling harvests of rippling soil

We give thanks for strength to toil

 

Now dream of enchanted Saturn skies

And this season’s living lullabies

In emerald’s lush turned scarlet ripe

In dancing colors’ succulent stripes

 

Fragrance of pumpkin spices swift

Round apple cider’s luscious drift

Dancing, drifting, in lifting smiles

Families united from across the miles

 

World comes to life in misted sleep

As harvest moons light all we reap

The earth’s flutters in darkest shades

Meadows now slumber in gilded glades...

It does give a sense of summer ebbing away and winter being ushered in. I find fall such a sad season. It's so beautiful but what it brings is so cold and dark, but setting that aside, autumn in itself is as wonderful as you so deftly describe. Very pleasant piece.

This is a beautiful poetry, well done

I think that I would put ripe-ling or rippening(rip-pen-ing) which would roll in flow with the poem...Love the idea and presentation..Very descriptive...Enjoyed ...Glad that I chose this one to read today...Sunflower

I adore your beautiful, warm and peaceful picture. Looking at it, it brings up many precious memories of my childhood. Our world is so perfect, we only need to open our eyes to see it.

Your poem deeply touches a chord in me because it tells so beautifully of warmth and happy moments of togetherness and all wonderfully in sync with Mother Nature. I'm in awe... once again...
