Orange and red gleaming in the sun,
the leaves grew with impossible speed
beckoning everyone
with their splendour and fragrance.
Never have I seen such vibrant beauty,
swaying in all its grandeur
The next day I realised the dance
was in fact a tremble
and the beauty and aroma
were a parting gift
for others to remember the leaves
after they fall a prey
to the autumn

amazing one padmini, never see autumn leaves but reminded me of gulmohar flowers, that shed their petals after a night.
true. Gulmohar flowers are really beautiful
Splendid !

Wonderful pairing of image & poetry! Lovely poem!!
Thanks a lot:)
Just such a smooth flow of words, of feelings.
though autumn is beautiful in its own way, there is also an empty feeling..no leaves, no flowers etc..
