"The glory of this earth I'll miss. Though when I leave this realm one day. Sparks from my life are sure to stay." Quote _Connie Marcum Wong It is autumn and leaves are old, they are falling, falling, twirling; red, orange, brown curling, whirling. Delightful are the veined leaves gold, the sun is still lovely and bright; but the raw wind has a cool bite. I walk a faded forest cold, for my poetic friend has died; she whispers in the leaves that glide. And here and there grow marigold, orange glows within the decay; and above me bare branches sway. Love the curled leaves a millionfold, as birds sing an autumn lament; in the crisp, dying earthy scent. It is autumn and leaves are old, delightful are the veined leaves gold. I walk a faded forest cold, and here and there grow marigold; love the curled leaves a millionfold. ______________________ September 16, 2022 Poetry/Constanza Rhyme/Autumn-Constanza Copyright Protected, ID 09-1487-585-16 All Rights Protected, 2022, Constance La France (Constanza form created by Connie Marcum Wong) Written for the Standard contest, In Remembrance of Connie - Autumn sponsor, Suzanne Delaney, Judged 10/21/2022 First Place

I love the quote you have used , it is ‘so Connie’. Makes the sad feeling of saying goodbye easier to bear. Thanks for this beautiful tribute to her. SuZ
