The Splendor of Autumn

Autumn is such beautiful, unique time of the year. I just love the foliage of maroon, yellow and gold, and the opal splendor. I may be a little biased, being born in October (smile), but isn't autumn simply magical? I find it inspiring and very, very poetic.

Now I invite you on a poetic spree to honor the queen of seasons.
Write a rhymed metered poem about autumn. Let's make it minimum three stanzas and sprinkle it with imagery and creativity.

I thank you for your artistry and participation.

This is a little example of my own poem on the subject:

The Golden Autumn

The golden autumn sets my heart aglow
as leaves of opal glisten in the rain;
I'm mesmerized by this majestic show
appreciating dreams are not in vain.

The foliage of lilac and maroon
produces such a futuristic sight --
Oh God, I am at peace in your lagoon
I thank you for the beauty and the light.

Two swans aglide in mirrored autumn pond
are lost in love - their satin silhouettes
reflect in colored water, and their bond
will melt romantic hearts with its duet.
