About a week ago I wrote a short essay about Autumn, followed by the poem below. I separated the poem here for the purpose of submitting it to the Thursday Poet Rally entry this week. Please take the picture here to take you to the Poets Rally blog to see more poems from other poets.
If you would like to see my complete essay, please click the link here: Autumn Beauty
what a wonderful name you have
what a gentle nature
what a peaceful feeling you bring,
lucky are those
who have been swept away by your wind
because they’re forever changed,
doomed are those
who have been touched by your color
because they’ll forever ache for your beauty,
you’re always beautiful to me
and i will always adore you
even with your flaws,
you are a wonder on this Earth
an awe to us
and we are humble to have you
Lost and Found, A Continuous Journey 
This piece is as good for autumn as it is for a lover.
My favorite: and i will always adore you even with your flaws.
I’m curious of your haikus so I’ll be back soon.
I wrote a reply to your comment, Nel, but put it as a separate thread below. Sorry about that. Please see below.
i love autumn too …its the best season
thank you for reading mine and commenting. I appreciate it 🙂
interesting interpretation you have there, Nel. I always love to see when people come up with a different interpretation to my writing that I didn’t intend it in the first place, but that’s art. I must say, I love your interpretation. Thank you for that.
another colorful season with the leaves turning red/orange….
the texture of your verses gives this poem life
thank you for visiting and commenting, chimnese. I hope I gave it a life. 🙂
live and beautiful,
you have given autumn life, well done,
😉
Thank you. I’m grateful for your visit and comment. I’m glad if you think I’ve given autumn a life. That was my hope.
Doomed because of the ache for beauty, I just loved that. Great poem, thank you 🙂
Thank you. That is my favorite line too. I appreciate your visit and comment. I will do the same too.
Beautiful…
Thank you for visiting and commenting, Mohana. I love reading yours too.
This is just so beautiful. And I love your respect for autumn – your words open my eyes to her beauty. Thank you so much.
Thank you for visiting and comment, Zoe. It is a beautiful season. I’m sure the other seasons have their own beauties too, but autumn has something unique.
Beautiful, I love autumn too, it has a beauty of its own like each season

Hello.
What a lovely ode to autumn…almost like professing.
Autumn is my favorite season of all of them too.
The photo is glorious.
Great job!
Thanks for sharing.

Sorry…I wanted to say “almost like professing love.”
Thank you for stopping by and commenting, Andy. Almost like professing love? Perhaps… I will check out your site later too. Thanks again.
those who have been touched by your color
because they’ll forever ache for your beauty,
These words are truth.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. I’m happy that you agree. 🙂
To me this sounds like a universal love song to any object, and I do not mean to offend when I say that. What ties it to autumn is the photograph, and it could equally well have been about summer or spring, or even winter. That said (like I said, no offense) I really like it, especially because of its versatility. Beautiful and ‘fresh’ words!
Thank you for your feedback, CC. I truly appreciate it. You are right come to think of it. I wrote this poem as part of an essay. It worked so well with the essay, but you’re right, it looks so common now standing by itself. The picture was also from the essay. Thank you for your meaningful feedback. I like and appreciate it. Do stop by again.
I love the visuals in this. It’s rich like autumn 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. 🙂
a nice nature poem. Mary Oliver would be proud of you.
you’re speaking to nature.
Thank you, Tink. Can you share more about Mary Oliver and perhaps her bloglink too? Loved your work too, by the way 🙂
Wonderful, I loved this!
Thank you for visiting. I loved yours too. Hope to see you around.
