How lovely to welcome Autumn As she drifts through the misty air With a crown of Chrysanthemum flowers Adordning her auburn-bright hair When summer's sweet beauty is over And nights grow dark and cold Then, in her flaming colours Of amber and scarlet and gold She touches the meadows and valleys Igniting the beech and the oak Trees all aflame along mountains A fire without the smoke With her jewels of topaz and rubies And her smoky-grey, purple gaze Gentle yet spellbinding Autumn Walks through the woodland ways We might yearn for summer to linger Wild flowers and grasses that grow Long for those precious hours And all of the joys we know But I will sing Autumn's praises As leaves come fluttering down And I welcome our Autumn Lady With her Chrysanthemum-daisy crown |

Oh, and what a beauty the Autumn Lady be! ~ and you captured her essence in all of her glory!  This has to be one of my all-time favourite fall poems!  May your autumn be as gracious as your pen!   Linda |

Heart2Heart, Quite eloquent this Autumn of yours! I hadn't been eager to meet her so soon, but after you described her so beautifully in words, I'll have to make acquaintance with such the breath-taking creature in a few weeks or so! A pleasure to read and to have in my library! v ~miscellanea |

Isn't it amazing that she can wear all that and manage not to look over dressed? How does she do it? Must be the natural beauty. You did her justice, H2H and painted her portrait beautifully. A |

True your words about Autumn, thanks dear Alison. And we shall soon be approaching that season here. I am so glad I stay in a place where I can appreciate the beauty of the shifting seasons, not everyone is as fortunate. Katriona |
