Color Me Autumn
Golden
floating, fallen
leaves in evening breeze;
children rolling, jumping, catching
glory.

You captured the mood (of children having a glorious time) very well, Charlene. A great read.
ReplyDeleteNdada, thank you ever so much for taking the time to read and, with your kindness, comment on my poem. Karen introduced me to the Cinquain form and I quit like it. Also I am looking forward to more of your wonderful poems.

O Charlene, I can so relate to you and this beautiful poem. I also am a great-grandmother who started writing late. :)

Maureen, I so much appreciate your comment that you can relate with me being a great-grandmother and beginning to write late in life. It is so nice, isn't it, to know we are not completely worn out or too old to learn more and able to develop our talents. I am looking forward to reading more of your poetry.
