AUTUMN

Michael Edwards

 

AUTUMN

 

Wilting growth in brawling tides

of mewing winds that tread the hills

with rustling ebbs of autumn hues

beneath a shredding canopy.

    Did not notice you wrote a poem of autumn as well! vivid poem, love it

  • Goldfinch60

    Wonderful imagery Michael and the painting with it works so very well.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy - I have posted the painting before but it went with the poem better than any others I could find.

      • Goldfinch60

        I thought I had seen the painting before, it was well worth seeing again though.

        Lovely autumn words, i picture the first signs on the leaves in my minds eye.

        • Michael Edwards

          Yes - not evident here in middle England as yet but won't be long.

          • dusk arising

            The blackberries were early again in Worcestershire...... i'll keep an eye out. Glorious colors of autumn.

          • FredPeyer

            This is good, but personally, I did like winter better!

            • Michael Edwards

              Well it's Spring next - tomorrow the whole poem

            • Fay Slimm.

              Autumn encased in a few choice words could never be bettered - great work Michael. Saved as fav.

              AUTUMN ~ A wonderful chance for Mother Nature to open her PAINTBOX ! R O Y G B I V ~ Leaves every colour of the Rainbow and a thousand shades besides ! Thanks BRIAN

                I love the colours - I feel a poem which invokes a verisimilitudinous vision in the eye of the reader would be appropriate.

                What a lovely paint. And the poem is just as good. My favorite season is spring even though here in Florida it is a very smooth almost unnoticeable transition. Waiting for the spring poem and painting. Just a lovely idea Michael.

                  Aw thanks - spring is written but must sort out a suitable painting - might struggle a bit there

                • WL Schuett

                  Love autumn and you captured its spirit

                • myself and me

                  What a autumn. The color, the sound and the action. I am intoxicated in your autumn. This one is the winner so far.
                  Love the paint too. So beautiful.

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Gee thanks - tomorrow the complete piece.

                    Love the image you create - love the phrase 'shredding canopy ' 😊
