Autumn's Fire - A Poem

Autumn's Fire


As the harvest sun sets over painted trees,
for a short time summer's memory can return.
Fleeting moments before the darkness rules,
dusk's great forge sets the evening heavens to burn.

Tonight the fiery sky blazes out so strong,
Silhouetting brave flocks as away they fly.
A seasonal spectacle to take your breath away
when autumn's vivid flames colour land and sky.

Summer's fire was there for all to see and feel;
Bright flowers grew tall under her scorching gleam.
Early autumn grants summer's warmth a lofty echo
before it's he, alone, who reigns supreme.

Rosie Hill 2015

      Thank you. We had another fabulous sunset last night all dark red and really rather ominous. First frost this morning so I suspect autumn is really taking charge now.

      Thank you, Lisa. I only realised after publishing it that it was National Poetry Day and I loved listening to some of the poems on Radio 4

    Fantastic, you've really captured autumn! (which you did in a prose piece recently too - I've just put it in my BritMums poetry and prose roundup!) xx #prose4t

    Autumn has such fiery undertones and I think your poem is spot on! As for those photos , how amazing are they?! The skies have been gorgeous of late haven't they?!

      It certainly has been a fabulous autumn and I am not sure when we last had so many good colours in both the trees and the sky.

      Thank you Ashley - the photos were from 2105. This year we have had fewer fiery sunsets but more fabulous tree colours.
