The dance of autumn (double etheree)

[Artemis]

Autumn whispers with golden honey sighs
Between her fingers slip leaves of gold.
She spreads her carpets of russet
and catches your misty breath.
Flames lick the countryside
And colour the city.
Beautiful fall
I see you
dancing
now,
just
Taking
Over with
Enchanting ease.
You strip all the trees
And you cover the earth
To protect her from winter.
In your wake we have skeletons
Reaching up towards the sky, they hear
Autumn whispers with golden honey sighs

[ARTHUR KELLY]

Now thats what I'm talking about.....This for me is your best write yet!!!!!!!!!!!

Form but freedom, shape but free of rhythm and such a wonderful verbal array to portray your autumnal picture!!!!!!!!!

A beautiful autumnal write but not quite etheree form, Kerry. This has two six syllable lines and only nine lines (not 10) in first part. Even so, it looks good and reads softly like drifting leaves. Repetition of first and last lines wraps it into a tidy bundle. H x

Sorted it Harklight, I'd missed the two syllable out .... thanks for noticing .... thank you all for the great replies and exalts too .. much love, Artemis XX

A lovely transition of seasons piece Artemis........great form and delivery. I could visualise the changes with ease. Well done.

[WranglerRoy]

Even were it not a "concrete" poem, this is one of the finest works in Free Verse as ever I've perused!

Ineffably expressive, Artemis!

I love etheree's personally I also think them harder to write they they first seem, so for that alone I am impressed by the delivery of such a beautifully and delectable piece of poetry, the class of this poem is just brilliant this is Kermit on fire for sure, excellent writing you're an inspiration xx
