Toxic Autumn
Crackling
Burning.
Flags,
Flapping
Parchments.
Scattering.
Leaves are turning
Rustling
Rushing
A stream
A waterfall
Cascading
Blustering
Music
Seduces
Sleep
Encased
In glassy
Embrace
We lie
Sheltered
From autumn’s
Stain
Soothed
By the hiss
Of rain
Atmospheric and dynamic, beautiful poem!
Everything seems to be on fire here and still at peace at the same.
I see images that reminds me of the coming together of a "beauty" and a "beast"
Love the way you use natural elements as a source of inspiration. I use colours most times especially black.
This is fantastic.

I've just started on Steemit and this has been a really nice poem to have as an introduction to the community. So much imagery for so few words. Nice work :)
thank you, @jonbest and welcome. You're beginning well by making substantive comments and not just, 'nice work'. Glad to have you along
