Autumn Springs from Summer’s Flame,
Eternal Passage of Season’s Change,
Dance of Passion’s Lingering Game,
Viridian for Copper, Elemental Exchange.
Primordial instincts embrace epic hues,
Fantasy’s Utopia, view Wisps becoming Brides,
Delphian Fairwell Fairies mimic and muse,
Rousing Shadows and Lovers, crimsons collide.
Pageant of Nighttide, Shimmering Bright,
Secrets Whispered in Primeval Tones,
Gathering Luminous, Spectral Light,
Ethereal Queen Born from muttering crone.
Dauntless Coppice, pursuing nature’s virgin Sprite,
Baptized, Nocturnal King of Twilight’s Beasts,
Queen Dowager awaits Autumn’s marital rites,
Mystic humming, via Motley winds due East.

Trying to repost this as Morgan said she hasn’t seen this come through the reader today… Boo! 😦

This is the fourth verse in a week long Autumn, Halloween, seasonal change, Mystical, light and dark collaboration with Morgan, from http://booknvolume.com/ . Morgan has written verses one and three, as we continue our week long collaboration.
I am thrilled to be writing along side Morgan, as her inspirations capture me daily. One day I find her writing of a fantasy world I can’t even begin to dream of, but would love to visit, and then in the next breath she’s left me a longing mess. I adore her poetry and her heart.
Our verses are off the cuff and inspired by each other, isn’t that lovely?! The image above chosen by Morgan, and I think it is perfect. Please continue to join us this week, as we thrive on working with one another to bring you Autumn Springs.

Wow, you two are really singing this. The changing of seasons is certainly giving you both great inspiration.
🙂
Fun stuff, indeed. Morgan challenges me, Staci. Glad you’re enjoying this Autumn tale. 🙂
I find that collaborations really do challenge us, don’t they? Especially when it’s somebody that you really admire. They can truly push us to grow.
🙂
It is always a fun experience! ! 🙂
I love the last verse! That bit about Twilight Beasts…
Thank you!! (Did you see the part about the leprechaun? ?) *struts around proudly* Yes, well…so you like that part? Tell me why…
No! I can’t find it. *upset face* Where is that part? Well, it’s a more vicious type of thing, isn’t it?
Umm, a Sprite is also a Leprechaun. Sprite rhymed… Oh well, *darn* Yes…ish, I guess.
No way! Really? Is that what a sprite is?
Shh…stop it. Don’t act like you didn’t know.
Actually, I didn’t know at all.
I have a hard time believing you, but I find it easy to trust you, so okay. Yes, Sprite is another name for leprechaun. I looked it up to make sure, but tis in the story of Puck, you see.
Oh….Puck…that’s an interest.
I think so.
