As the fall sun takes it place Bringing chills upon the air On the grass, frost leaves its trace The atmosphere is changing Soon to leave those vibrant bursts Of leaves and colored sunsets Each new fall is like the first Like canvas of a painter As he starts each one anew When brush of palette touches Creating colors vibrant hue And with imagination Will create a perfect scene Upon the outdoor canvas Colors of red, yellow, green Colors will not hold atop They will gently flutter down Reflecting sunsets brilliance Splashing colors all around <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |

Yep Sunshine it is, what amazes me is that I have something to add to this new forum  Serenity, I'm glad I can see them, not sure if we'll get too colorful here this year or not. Mark, I'd love to! I'm just a warm weather person. Sent you a pic of fall! thanks! |

Becky, WOW!! Wonderful job. Especially like the last verse. So lovely, (& thank you for your sweet-sweet words for me). "Colors will not hold atop They will gently flutter down Reflecting sunsets brilliance Splashing colors all around" |

Ah! Lovely...I remember fall in the midwest with all the beautiful colors and crisp air. Fall here is 15 minutes long. I think I slept through it last year. |

Simply beautiful. Fall is my second favorite time of the year. We have a few cooler days here in MS, but nothing too permanent yet. Just when ya think its going to stay cool, it gets warm again. Well, at any rate, here I am anxiously awaiting a permanent Autumn feeling. Nice work! My name isn't Baby, and I don't want to cyber. |

Temptress thank you! I know what you mean about the weather. We got cold and warm, but the cold seems to be sticking around. I'll even go for 60* anyday right now! Summer being my favorite, but fall and it's lovely colors are right up there! Ruth ROFL! I'm sorry hon, don't mean to make you long for something else. But hey, we always want what we can't have right? LOL Well, as soon as our leaves turn colors, I'll ship some out to you ok? Love ya, you hang in there!!Bonnie thank you! Ours are a bit slow. Some of them are turning now, and we've had quite a bit of rain the past few days, so just maybe, we'll color after all! < !signature--><*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.

Dove, the rhyme just flowed and the imagery weaved within each verse captured the season in all its beauty! Coco |

Beautiful work. Fall is one of my favorite times and you captured it so well. I'm glad I live somewhere where fall really happens. Elizabeth Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near... [email protected] |

Rebecca- This is beautiful...you've painted a wonderfully colorful picture of Fall here. No true Fall here in Phoenix, so this poem was a nice change of pace. -vicky < !signature--> "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 10-17-2000).] |
