White wicker chairs
bow to end of summer
Amber yellows, earth browns
hail the rise of fall
Butter yellow sun
Melts with autumn chill
Shivering moon dons cloak
of ermine cirrus cloud
Ombre autum leaves flurry
in ice-crystalled winter wind
Diffident gray dawn
sparrows pack for South

Butter yellow sun….love this!
hmmmm. butter yellow sun on mashed potato clouds…o, sorry, can’t seem to stop. LOL. Thanks so much for read and comment!
Each phrase a different image and color presenting a different facet of autumn. So brief and so simple…a great evocation of season. The last line is a funny departure from the descriptive. I enjoyed the read. Thanks.
Yo! Steve! Had to get my little sparrows in there…and that’s just the way I pictured them; tiny suitcases with handles between wee beaks fluttering south. Glad you enjoyed this small tribute to autumn. Thanks for the read and the comment!
a very serene piece. i enjoyed the splashes of color throughout and the beautiful imagery.
Perhaps it’s the haiku feel of the write that gives you this serentiy feeling you’re talking about. Thank you very much for the read and the nice comment!
Loved all of these Jackie
like a gentle fluttering of leaves on an autumn breeze
‘Butter Sun’ melting
sublime imagery ..
and those little sparrows all packed and ready to go

of ermine cirrus cloud’ ~ majestic
