Tune: Lux Benigna
('Lead, kindly Light')
**********
Took upon, forced, a blustery Autumn dance
I saw by chance
Partnered in routine, sun's rays shimmering
Enchancements bring
Nature's pallet, abundant with shades all
Summer heat fades, we painted into Fall
Voives of the trees flirt to a scatter
Leaves lay flatter
On ground, but sporadic movement there be
And rustling free
Chitter chatter their sound, they to us come
With hopeful hearts through days, then guide us home
With disappointment we sweep them away
Their colours fray
Now comes a slow end unto Autumn's days
It goes its ways
As curtain falls and carpet coverings
All soft, deep leaves, Winter waits in the wings
So now the trees stand tall and bare and quiet
As if lost heart
Their voices not sound yet, till Spring's advent
They be patient
Though now howl of the Winter's ghose we'll hear
Promise of Spring again shall re-appear

I was doing a leaf dance and then autumn arrived - I got very cold. Hey this something different and a fine write it is Orchi.
Thanks Michael. Did ya see the original poem by Lamb067? I've only added one or two originals bits myself. I have adapted a few poet's poems in the past, with permission, not plagi-wotsit them. You know - that big word that sound like 'plague', and means nicking other poet's works - and incurring their wrath! One naughty poet did it on a site, and copped it. He tried to make money out of it too.
Strangely I've also used someones poem as an inspiration but it's quite different to the original to the effect that it would be hard to match them together. and I certainly wouldn't want to attempt to make money out of it.
Ohh the poets raged at this guy - and rightly so. There he was, bold as brass, with his pic too (assuming it was him). Comment of 'You *&^%() and %^$£"(*&*!!'] I dare not translate, or I will swoon!
Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ ALED is still a fine singer ~ Often Choir Boys become CROAKY but not ALED. Our Dream Cruise would be with ALED as the Guest Singer ~ AMEN. Thanks for POEM ~ I often adapt but always acknowledge to be safe !
Autumn is a great Season but too soon (like today !) it morphs into WINTER ! Angela is enjoying SPRING in NZ and December 1st it will be Summer. Shes still in BED (6 am) I will SKYPE her @ 7 am (NZ time). Yours as always BRIAN !
Thanks B&A. Pity I turned up to sing with Aled, and ruined everything! heehee.
Approval all around. Well done my friend
Thanks lambo.
Orchi,
Great adaptation!
Bravo! 👏🏻

Thanks Laura.
Nicely written orchidee. Although I didn't see the original poem, I loved your nature's theme, but hate the fact we will soon experience the icy cold of Winter.
🙂
Thanks Tamara. Lambo's original poem is still on the site, if you do a search.
OK, I will. Thanks!
I tried, but couldn't find it.
Can you click on the poet's name somehow, then find the poem?
I did find it and posted the following:

Yes, I finally saw the original. Your version is a nice tribute too.
Nature's pallet is to be held in awe.
Brilliant write Orchi.
