Autumn - Published Cambridge News October 2012

 

Autumn

The autumn light slants through the trees
With dancing shafts and pools of shade
Illuminating mellow leaves
With touch of gold and hint of jade

A brilliant splash of scarlet bright
From  berries decking hedgerow long
Luminous in hazy light
And robin trills his winter song

The early morn sees drifting mist
And as we watch the summer fade
The evening air is winter kissed
The countryside to rest is laid

  1. Like the passing of summer your poem is filled with a sense of loss , yet even in winter your robin trills his song
