Roberta Writes – d’Verse: Fall (in) love and Sunday Stills #Autumn #cosmos #poetry #d’verse

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Punam is hosting Tuesday’s Fall (in) love d’Verse poetry prompt. We are tasked with writing an a poem about the fall. In South Africa fall is called autumn and we are now in spring. I am a seasonal writer so this is a poem I wrote in April when it was fall here.

Autumn Stage

Autumn cosmos

Transforms the local park

Into a richly decorated stage

The floor artfully draped

With a Persian carpet

In shades of yellow and green

Interwoven with pink and white

The backdrop, an intricate design

Of season worn trees

Still attired in summertime greenery

They dance gently against the azure sky

The main prop – a slowly decomposing tree

Over which the cosmos tumble

In cascades of delicate colours

Heralding the last days

Of aged summer’s mellow light

This poem was first published in Poetry Treasures 4: In Touch With Nature anthology.

  19. My white allysum is still blooming overflowing my front garden. I can see buds ready on my Mums…Once they do bloom I’ll have to remember to cut them back so they can grow and bloom again next spring. I’m sure there is cosmos in my neighborhood… I just don’t have any (yet).

    Thanks for your lovely photos. 🙂

    1. Hi Jennie, it’s difficult for me to think of autumn during spring. I love September to December with spring and all the Christmas things to plan and enjoy. I’ve already go a design for my gingerbread house and I’m planning a tiny birdbath and some birds in the garden.
