AUTUMNS COLOURS ~ USA ~ An Acrostic Sonnet

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

ASPENS in COLORADO are 

UBIQUITOUS into the Fall

THEIR  leaves don't fall in Autumn as

USUAL ~ they stay on the trees 

MAKING a RAINBOW of colour !

NOTHING  PREPARES YOU for such a rich

SIGHT GOD'S  PAINT BOX ~ creates for you !

 

COLOUR IN NEW ENGLAND is vibrant

ORANGE ~ YELLOW ~ RED ~ GREEN & BLUE 

LOVELY PURPLES ~ mainly Maple

OPULANT scale ~ AMERICA as 

USUAL ~ Bigger ~ Brighter ~ Better 

RIOTOUS ~ Two Hundred times more Forest ~ than UK   

SO HER TREES  stretch for One Hundred Miles !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love to ALL BRIAN

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Thanks ANDY ~ I've been to the USA a few times in the Fall and it really breath taking ! In NY State there is a place called 100 mile view and you can literally see 100 miles of vibrant Autumn colour ~ BRIAN

      I saw a few trees outside the Co-op looking autumnal. Erm, not quite the same thing! heehee. Good write Brian.

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        Thanks STEVE ~ Interestingly enough the leaves are staying on the trees longer in OLD ENGLAND so our Autumn Scenery lasts longer. However as i emphathsised in my Poem it is the shee scale of things in the USA that bends the mind. CONFUCIUS HE SAY "Two trees outside Chop Suey House do NOT a FOREST make ! Yours BRIAN

        • orchidee

          Yes I see, the huge scale of it all. Oh good, did Confucius know the Co-op?!

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Yes indeed ! When i lived in Old Shanghai I used to visit the CO-OP for him when he could no longer cycle ! His numbe was 183611 but it never came up on the LOTTERY. My Chinese name was I NO U and my Wife's U NO ME

            I NO U and U NO ME
            Sat beneath the Yoma Tree
            Neiter of the LOVERS knew
            That they were watched
            By U NO HU
            Enter furious MI TIN HAT
            Who shot them both
            And that was that !

            Yours BRIAN

              • malubotelho

                Orch, you are teasing me with your cherry so now I want some. Where can I get it. Is it very sweet?

              • FredPeyer

                Great poem. You should see the autumn colors in Quebec! All the maple trees are just gorgeous!

                • BRIAN & ANGELA

                  Thanks FRED pleased you liked it ! I love CANADA & the CANADIANS ! I have been in Grand Manan Island in the FALL ~ Awesome Yours BRIAN

                • Christina8

                  Very nice acrostic!! You should see the colors around the great lakes! Although I hate to see the colors change marking the impending doom of winter, it is really beautiful. I love the reds! Hugs-Christina

                  • BRIAN & ANGELA

                    GOOD MORNING CHRIS ~ I have been to some of the Lake States (including yours !) in the FALL and they are exceptional. We have discussed Seasons and lots of People say FALL is their favourite ! Because we have centrally heated Homes & Malls & 4 x 4's Winter is much more bearable now than it was 150 years ago (1867) when none of these things were in place. I am getting paid by the USA Tourist Board for promoting your Beautiful Country on line ! Yes a crimson MAPLE LEAF is a miracle ! Thanks for your comments ~ Hugs & Cuddles ~ BRIAN Man for ALL Seasons ! @@@@@@@@@@

                          This is so sweet. I live on an island in Florida, and quite literally do not know any seasons but summer. This is wonderful.
