On An Autumn Morning - (Monchielle form)

On an Autumn Morning ... (A Monchielle Poem)

On an autumn morning
I see the wild geese fly
Perfect “V” formation
Winging swiftly southward
Warmer clime vacation.

On an autumn morning
Orange, red and yellow
Maple leaves are falling
Weaving close together
Graceful dance enthralling.

On an autumn morning
Bits of frost still linger
Filigree on flowers
Slowly disappearing
Sunlight’s warmth empowers.

On an autumn morning
Cool brisk breeze is blowing.
The summer just a dream
Winter will be coming
All part of nature’s scheme.
