Amber... russet... scarlet... yellow, Turn the leaves of larch and willow. Grapes cling to the sagging vine, Their jovial bellies tight with wine. The tiny thuddings in the dusk Are nuts soft-pushing from the husk To lie in heaps among the mould -- Crimson... amber... russet... gold. | Other Poems of Interest...THE HEAT OF AUTUMN by JANE HIRSHFIELD OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV |
