Autumn Colours by Jayne Amanda Burford

Autumn over the River Severn and High Rock from Bridgnorth's Castle Walk

Summer nights seem far away.

As eve comes quickly from the day

An artist’s dream, Autumn does display.

Look around, at natures gleam

How they blend and scheme

They cannot match, or go together

Our programmed minds, scramble and blether.

Just open your mind, see them for real.

 

Decadent reds, with hues of blue, burnt apple greens, and bruises of purple

Pinks of Orange, and fire blue browns, with Glaucous hues and accents of teal,

The results are real, you will be amazed.

But you’ll never see the same again.

Take pictures in your mind, and you will never forget.

Our wonderful Autumn days yet to be met.

This contains a nice parade of colours, Jayne; I liked the phrase "burnt apple greens". Interesting reading.

Agree Nature challenges our ore conceptions about colour! Very vivid poem.

It's surprising how summer feels far away once autumn is here, even though this autumn has been strangely warm. I love your suggestion of blue browns; an imaginative poem Jane.
