Fall Fashion

Dressed up for Autumn

 

Fall Fashion

 

O’ dear Mother Nature we plead thee to send

Thy beautiful colors we’ve come to depend

Scarlet laced orange o’ paint o’er the trees

Yellows and ambers so vibrant to please

 

Wash o’er the valley in autumn’s delight

Tapestries woven of hues ever bright

Amber and ocher, crimson and green

Emblazon our view in your amethyst dream

 

So long we have waited to feel your grand touch

Of artistic ventures we cherish so much

We plead thee to send in the essence of passion

The colors of life in your wondrous fall fashion

You've painted a stunning tableau with your words:

Wash o’er the valley in autumn’s delight
Tapestries woven of hues ever bright
Amber and ocher, crimson and green
Emblazon our view in your amethyst dream

Thank you so very much Anne. I imagine it is about time for you up there to experience just this.

Jack, you words make me a little nostalgic for the autumns of my youth in New Hampshire. We don't get much in the way of foliage down here in Orlando. Your friend in words, Pete

[Jack...]

Not here either, Pete, in south Texas. Kind of green to brown, but it is nice to know we have memories to FALL back on. Thanks so much.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am such a fan of your work, Jack. It's poetry like this that gives me cause to appreciate good writing, promising poets, and lasting friendships!

Thank you for making my day end on a very good note!

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Kelly for your always kind words. Happy this poem could be your night cap. Hopefully it created wonderful dreams as you slept.

How could mother nature resist this?
I suspect you will be having a glorious autumn Jack

[Jack...]

Sorry my friend, but not as glorious as this poem depicts. South Texas does not get the changing of colors and that kind of thing, but I do remember what it was like living in the northeast. Thanks so much.

[Dr. Wood ?]

Then I feel sorry for you..I suppose Texas has it's advantages....But you still have your memories Jack...

What a beautiful invitation to the most beautiful season of the year! There is nothing quite like it. That is my favorite time to visit back in Kansas, but I have to plead with Mother Nature also to allay the ol' Kansas wind so I can see the leaves. One fall when I went back, the weather one day was almost 100 degrees, the next day it rained and then the north wind blew down a Canadian clipper and she snowed. Leaves went quick that year.

[Jack...]

Weather is like that, it can the confuse the hell out of us sometimes. Thank you so much my friend.

[MsJewel]

You are an artist with words..creating beautiful images.
So lovely!

Thank you so much my friend. Happy Autumn.

[Joyce S. Greene]

How very beautiful. I am a big fan of autumn and your words have captured the spirit of the season so very well.

I love these lines in particular - they bring so back so many memories of Vermont and its vibrant colors. Thanks for the memories, Jack.

[Jack...]

Thank you Joyce, living in South Texas, Autumn is not quite as colorful as where I am from, so speaking of memories, that is what I used to write this.

[Emerald Seas]

Romancing the leaves now, are we? If you keep whispering sweet words, I'm sure they will soon blush in every hue ;)

[Jack...]

I know, it seems they fall for me everytime. :) Thanks so much my friend.

[Rita L. Sev]

There's that box of crayons again! Love the vibrant picture you have painted here, Jack - reading your poem will help me to be patient while waiting for the full-on blaze of color that is just around the corner.

[Jack...]

I wish I could see it with you Rita. No color change down here, I have to write this stuff from memory. :) Thanks so much my friend.
