Autumn Evening

Inspired after a long walk through the woods

 Tired shadows of trees

Lean long and low

Against the leaf-strewn valley.

The sun blinks bleary-eyed

And blurs the creek

Into golden smudges.

Wind combs fingers

Through oak and beech

In preparation for night.

And in one slow motion

The heavens blink

A thousand stars into being.

And in one slow motion
The heavens blink
A thousand stars into being... Loved such lines. Nice imagery!

I'm glad that you have been looking through my humble showcase of poetry. And I feel great knowing that I induced a feeling of Autumn through my combination of words.

I think you've created vivid images the reader can easily picture in their mind with this. The last verse is my favorite, it really compliments the idea well. I'm not so sure about the third verse as far as hair. I find it hard to picture that in my head as it relates to leaves. I think you did a fine job of putting into words what you saw around you for this poem though. Glad I read it.

[Annie]

I'm SO happy for your advice. I must admit, I had my doubts with the third verse as well. It's kind of funny because the poem is about your profile name's title: Autumn :)

Thank you for commenting.

It was my pleasure. :)
