Nature starts her seduction
With slowly stirring winds
Gradually green veils drop
Revealing gifts within
Golden leaves sway lazily
Golden leaves sway lazily
Shimmers catch my eye
Sudden scarlet flashes
Dance on branches high
Color and motion draw me in
Pulse pounding in my veinsColor and motion draw me in
Stripped bare by wailing winds
Her stark beauty remains
Thus is the autumn
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just perfect. Your photos are amazing, too. We finally got some nice rain showers here yesterday and today after months of drought. It was pure magic. Blessings!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, if only this nature sway ans seduction could never end. I LOVE fall. And your soothing words about it.

ReplyDeletelove that line, all of it a perfect picture of autumn.
Beautiful marriage of words and images - the sweet and dazzling season, autumn. Thanks for coming by my place too. Gay @beachanny
ReplyDeleteNice description on in-coming autumn. Not sure when it's going to start though. Out here in CA it's still in the 80's and all the leaves are green and hanging around. I can't get that view you're talking about here! Nice photos too. I enjoyed your One Shot Eric!
ReplyDeleteyes - this is autumn - to be loved wholeheartedly
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! That is autumn - the seductress! And I love the photos, Eric! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow i would like to dance through that poem.
ReplyDeleteHi Eric,
ReplyDeleteI loved that you intermingled the pics with your words. Beautiful imagery!
"Color and motion draw me in
Pulse pounding in my veins
Stripped bare by wailing winds
Her stark beauty remains"
I loved your last stanza, too. The bare branches seemed austere, but you're absolutely right, she has powerful and stark beauty. I enjoyed this, Eric. Great One Shot! :)
What a wonderful poem--undressing the tree! Loved this.
