The Allure of Autumn Trees

As sizzling skies of summer

dispensed its heat through hills,

October launched its chilly reign

exchanging heat for chills.  

Majestic trees of birch, in sway,

along the distant trail,

released a mass of florid leaves

that mounted in the dale.  

Each silent, spinning parasail,

rotating through their whirls,

nose-dived as a regiment

plunging down in twirls.  

Yet if a blitz of bitter snow

must always make a stance,

winter flakes cannot replace

my autumn tree romance.

And an alluringly well rhymed poem, too.
Spring and Summer seems to get all the seasonal acclaim but I’ll take an Autumn any day over both of those. There is just something wonderful about being warm and cosy without the extremes of heat and cold making some days unbearable.
Nature, of course, has her own romance with Autumn, too. There is a beauty in decline that all the flowers blooming in Spring cannot replace.
Awesome write.

I loved this and I love rhyming poems, they are like little jigs that bounce off your mind as you read, and when you get the ending that fits it’s very satisfying.

There is a lyrical feel to the rhythm of this poem. The rhyming is flawless. Your love of nature comes through loud and clear. Yes, Autumn is a beautiful time of year if you live where the leaves change color. Lydi**

I could picture winter with her arched brows and haughty face rife with the regret of defeat to a season more gracious than her. The concluding verse is my favourite. Appreciated very much.

You make me wish it was autumn again. Excellent imagery describing my favorite season. I can see those leaves sometimes falling lazily and at other times yanked from the branches slapping against the windows. Metering makes for easy reading and it was an enjoyable reminder of autumns beauty!
