While water washes shore
on a moon misted morning,
summer surrenders
to golden kisses
and scarlet sighs.

(I am finding my commute above Shuswap Lake to be very inspiring! At some point I will have to stop to take some photos for you. It is positively GLORIOUS! In the meantime, this photo in words will have to do).

Beautiful metaphor!
Thanks!
I love the imagery and it’s short. It’s early in the morning here so I can’t cope with anything long and convoluted.
lol. I like short. I tell my students, “Brevity is an art.” (and somewhere in this blog there is actually a poem with that in it, but you’ll have to look for it yourself, ’cause I’m going to bed!) 🙂
Moon misted morning – wonderful!
Thanks. It’s very pretty with the mist over the lake in the mornings, but to be honest, I’m rarely up early enough to see the moon in it! 😉
Beautiful word picture.
Thanks.
Nice. So you teach? Teachers are the greatest. Too many people have no idea how much we need them.
I do. I find that most people value education and teachers, but then I live in Canada. Some people clamour that we’re over-paid, but I’d rather be paid a fair wage than be under-paid like in the US. For our training and hours, I think our salaries are quite reasonable. A colleague just left the district to work teaching for an oil company. Her pay as an intern was more than her 10 year rate as a public school teacher. Priorities, eh?
“Golden kisses and scarlet sighs”–You capture the beauty in autumn.
I’m glad you like it.
Love your autumn poems too!
Thanks
Beautiful! I can picture it with no photo! (But fall photos are always appreciated…)
lol
this photo of words is awesome – i can see exactly what it is you are looking at:)
Good visualization! 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful concision!!!!
Thank you. Concision. Hmm… With cutting? I have not heard this interesting word before. I’m going to go look it up! 🙂
Not too wordy–concise and very well-done 😀
Scarlet skies, such a perfectly vivid image you have created!
Glad you like it!
Agreed. Beautiful phrase.
Lovely…
I surrender to the “golden kisses.”
