season gracefully tantalizing our senses , filling our arid heart with euphoric delight... autumn.. tiptoeing softly with secret steps, veiled, in a soothing miraculous cascade of light. invigorating stroll around the block, spotted on the tall maple ..cerise, tangerine, red leaves, delightful roses are still beaming, a few sprawled, strewn at ground, dejected petals summer's dreams weave. crimson, orange, amber, scarlet hued autumn-leaves twirling, swirling, spiralling, in the golden breeze, waltzing down, decoupage of kaleidoscopic glorious beauty, swooshing around tranquil trees! feel fleecy warmth of mellow air fleeting away, warm sun shines on ruby apples, milkweed seeds fly, bountiful maples ready for tapping, serene comforting childhood is back in memory's eye. intoxicated with aroma of sunshine, playful autumn lures us gleefully gamble in riot of colours, beauty of a fairyland a rare painting by nature, pageant sure to win!

Imagery, personification, rhyme and a sprinkling of alliteration give life to this "still-life" poem, Mala. All it needs now is paints and brushes to preserve it on canvas for years to come. ~ Regards & Blessings // paul

What a cheerful scene you have painted 'of autumn tip toeing with secret steps and the leaves twiring, swirling , spiraling and swooshing around tranquil trees'. Also the maple trees standing ready for tapping ! So lovely, dear Mala. All the Best!
