Glorious Promise
With crimson and gold, pretentious October
flaunts a tapestry gloriously ablaze
with audacious, arrogant maturity,
dismissing once again, stealthy November
eager to bleed and devour
strength, beauty, and pride.
Into mother's bosom she'll seep,
cold, wet, fading, decaying,
perspicacity her only comfort.
Alone, humbled, she'll absorb
life's restoring light, rejoicing
as Easter's promise unfolds.

This is for Poets United "Think Tank Thursday "113" Signs of Autumn & for Friday Flash 55. It is my sixth poem I ever wrote but I have greatly reworked it here. The original is HERE written almost two years ago 12-01-10.

A cacophony of Seasonal Symbiotics.

Love the poem and the picture ... amazing !!!
nice...easter does carry much promise doesn't it....like how you used the seasons to convey your message margaret
This is -WOW- beautiful. I love the personification of the seasons!
Well said.
My jaw just dropped at the photo--that you found that one leaf out of an autumn's worth to record just trumpets your unerring eye for color and composition--and the poem is an artful rendition of autumn in all her many masks. Loved it, Margaret.
Beautiful. Loved the photo and the poem is wonderful. Hard to believe you've been writing poetry for only 2 years. Gives me hope.
Beautiful images of fall.
Fabulous photo - and the mention of November is scary - I am adjusting to fall but in no way am ready for winter!
A beautiful poem which captures the spirit of autumn perfectly.
