Wild child Autumn

bid adieu to summer's fire

A twinkle in her eye,

   as autumn breezes whirl,

tumbling like popcorn nymphs twirling

    wild child frolics amidst colored skies,

              feels alive in falling rhymes

romps with playful butterflies

     zephyrs of golden ribbons lace the air

        crimson and tangerines hues,

crisp as a morning's dawning view

   cuddly sweater's warmth upon a hearth,

          dashed in a clash of a smile's sigh

bid a brisk adieu to sweet 

      summer's fiery summertide

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country" Now I am intrigued by what music you chose for this highly appropriate poem. Sunday we were 77 F and sunny, Monday it was 32 F and we had 4 inches of snow. Totally skipped that "autumn breeze" thing.
Well written FP.

Wild Child by Enya...it was getting cool here at night, now it's back to muggy, gray, and hot. Thanks Noel.

With Enya streaming through my consciousness, I found myself engaged by this - your "wild child autumn". How poetically perfect it was, how pulsating it read to my senses, to my heart that adores this time of season the most!

So lovely, Frieda!

Thanks so much Kelly, I'm thrilled you enjoyed this one!

This is a lovely, vibrant number. A much more positive view than I have of fall. Despite the fact that I love the weather of fall, it depresses me to no end.
btw, The video is not available in my country, or so the caption says.

Seems to me, the older I get the more I like this time of year, although summer will always be my favorite, I'm surprise KL, I thought winter would depress you for sure...It's Enya, Wild Child, probably not your cuppa tea. :)

Well, winter here is less gray -- more crisp white, and I am out in it. I am the only person I know who gets sun in the winter on a regular basis. But fall depresses me because it is the end of summer and the beginning of winter.

Working out in that freezing cold would make me crazy....

I don't even wear winter clothes most days. A hoodie and gloves. I get too hot, with all that running. :)

I knew you were crazy. ;)
