 Song of Autumn by Ute Carson 1st Place Free Verse Poem, Lyrical Passion Entertainment, LLC I like the melody-shifting season best. No longer the bursting greenness of summer, Not yet the resigned hibernation of winter. It’s fall that carries a magical tune, When the sky embraces the earth With one last ardent desire And its desperate kisses Ignite nature’s most fervent colors -- Blood-red, flame-gold-orange -- My heart too sings With the rhythm of creation Still finding a home there Before its doors close Against the voices of the cold.
