In Colored View

there are three handfuls
ambered down
perhaps some more
about the town

and so it seems
the fall is here
as it comes
year by year

the weeping birch
is crying leaves
on patio,
along the eaves

and should I look
beyond the more
I’d likely find them
by the door

across the lawn
into the street
while autumn’s sun
makes its retreat

behind the clouds
in changing skies
even when
it’s in its rise

adding to
the cool of morn
that permeates
as summer’s torn

yet, autumn
has a rosy glow
between the heat
and winter snow

a lovely time of year
it’s true
its myriad
in colored view

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

The way you've structured and written this poem, I feel its energy and uplifting mood.
This is a delightful piece for this time of year!

Thanks, Earth Angel, I know I should be getting ready for work, but the view from my patio door wouldn't wait. Gotta rush, now.

(smiles) Oh Virginia, I just love the colors of autumn, hehehe, I know how you feel about wanting to just pen that gorgeous vision even when you are on the run, couldn't blame you because this is beautiful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Virginia - this is lovely. Yes, autumn...the leaves here in Ontario are starting to show off their colours. Isn't nature wonderful?!! I bet it is beautiful in Oregon this time of year too. Enjoyed. Chris

In our area of Oregon, we have fewer trees and much fewer deciduous, so we savor every one. We don't have the brillian red of the sugar maples that the New England states have and I also suspicion that Ontario has them, too. Am I correct?

I had the blessing of being in Penticton (spelling?) in the autumn one year and it was gorgeous. Of course that's west coast area of the continent, too, so no sugar maples, I think.
