Celebratory flock
White Egrets dance
Vividly
Among dawn’s birth
Shadows reflecting
A pulse
Simple beat
My fledgling heart
Each emotion
Owned
Clung to
Waiting

Autumn Springs Verse 6
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.
Dance upon the Darling Midnight,
Twirl amidst the Foliage Aflame,
King and Queen Bedecked in Mirth’s Light,
Escaping Summer’s Clasp, Ne’er to be the Same.
Brilliance sparkling over Celestial skies
Approval granted, Russet Harvest’s grace
Verdict trumpeted, Change of Seasons, shall advise
Regal first kiss, as accompanying Timbers embrace
*****
This is the sixth verse, inspired by Morgan’s fifth verse in a week long Autumn, Halloween, seasonal change, Mystical, light and dark collaboration with Morgan, from http://booknvolume.com/ .
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.

Cockcrow’s Titian
Flame

I’ve been lookin’ for you
Don’t blame me for lookin’ here
Flames flicker, attacking sensibilities
Dancing around me, yet settling fears
Like staring into your eyes, almost
I’ve been lookin’ for you
Don’t blame me for lookin’ here
Heat surrounding, starting in my chest
Found now below, urging me to let go
Like the touch of your hands, almost
I’ve been lookin’ for you
Don’t blame me for lookin’ here
Glowing ashes, proof of stability
Mesmerized desire, devoted endings
Like your heart admitting love, almost
I’ve been lookin’ for you
Don’t blame me for lookin’ here
Thrive
What I Should Have Said
Indigenous Surroundings (Tanka)
Quiet reflection
Indigenous surroundings
Contemplating life
Beneath a monochrome sky
Possibility of us

(For those who want to understand this poetic form: Tanka Form Info )
Stale View
Foggy dawning
The air sufficates
Smells proving perverse
Expressions don’t radiate
Not in the same way
Ceasing reagency
Leaving me empty
With no veracious desire
For your troubled voice
