Virginia’s bid for glory

Virginia’s changed her colour
and gone on a crash diet
Her body has diminished
but she’s keeping far from quiet

From green to red her foliage
with vibrancy remains
Her bid for autumn’s glory
with five leaves red she claims

Rose

Like silk upon a summer breeze
soft pastel shades of pink
It’s beauty is beyond compare
or rivalry I think

Sheffield Park

 

Like a rainbow in the water
The colours are sublime
Reflected here and mirroring
This fantastic Autumn time

Masterpiece

 

I stepped inside a masterpiece
with reds and oranges and
yellows liberally added
by Nature’s abstract hand

A thousand sunsets

 

If I could paint a thousand sunsets
I would capture every one
With a kaleidoscope of colour
Born of the golden sun
My palette would be filled
With yellows, reds and gold
And my brushstrokes on the canvas
Flamboyant, strong and bold

Vibrant

 

Vibrant colour in my garden
with Nasturtiums in full bloom
Deep reds and glowing yellows
vie with oranges for room

But there’s contest in a colour
it cannot replicate
The passion of the mallow pink
will always satiate

Tears to the eye

 

As I walked the long mile
By the dawn’s early light
I was privileged to witness
A spectacular sight
So with camera in hand
With a click and a prayer
I captured the moment
That I witnessed right there
