Autumn Song

A chapter in the book Carolina Pastorals

Appalachian Elegy pt. 5

by estory

Tincture of scarlet,
effervecense of gold,
distillations of amber,
violet and burgundy

Lace delicately
these leaf membrane love letters
the maples and oaks
write to the mountains...




This is just a simple, pastoral romantic poem about the beauty of autumn in the mountains, in simple unrhymed quatrains with a soft meter and colorful images of the autumn leaves. My love letter to the Appalachians, maybe. One more poem in this series is coming, probably next week; Mountain Chapel, long promised to some of the readers here and my favorite of the whole series. estory
