Autumn's Forest Morning

free verse poem about Autumn leaves early in the morning

"Autumn's Forest Morning"



With the frosty morning rising
to meet the sun of a new day,
Autumn Wind orchestrates
a frisky song and dance routine
from where I stand
at the meadow's edge of the woods;
leaves whistling and rustling in tune
to the chirping birds waking up


Tree canopies,
donned in gold and silver
and red shimmering lights,
accented with blousy dark blue
and yellow greens,
make up a costume attire best suited
for a Fall performance
on the forest stage
