I just love Autumn! I appreciate it's vivid colors, fall harvest(aka ~ yummy pies) and wearing big bunchy sweaters. There is so much to take in that it can easily be missed if you don't pay careful attention. One can become so preoccupied in his daily tasks, that Autumn just whizzes right by. So stay in tuned to my favorite time of the year, or before you know it, you'll have a shovel in your hand and be thinking back to Autumn and how you missed it altogether!
Elizabeth has anticipated it's welcome for over a week now and has been patiently awaiting for the green light to post her autumny poem:
AUTUMN DANCES IN
Golden whispers in the trees
Red sighs within the breeze
Orange sings a soft tune
Yellow calmly caresses the moon
Burgundy stirs a mellow breeze
Pale green whirls to the trunk's knees
God blesses the colors of fall
They will soon enrapture all
Memos of God's beauty stir on a path
Gentle showers will be its only wrath
Love created the beauties of fall
As Autumn's wind enchants all
Purple and green within the trees
Surely God's love gave us leaves
Pink, tawny, and golden-brown
Mahogany makes a trees' crown
Yellow-orange and golden-red
Fall colors decor the forests' bed
Colors are within the breeze
As Summer slowly, gently leaves.

Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely poem... now let's see you do that in Latin! ;)
don't worry...I did it for you...;0)
ReplyDeleteIn arboribus aureus sursurrat,
Suspirium rubicundum intra auram,
Aurantium tonum lenum cantat,
Placidus flavus blanditur lunam.
Purpura mitem ventum movet,
Pallidem viridem ad genu basis rotat,
Deus pigmentum autumnalis benedicit,
Captabunt mox omnes.
Notae pulchritudinis Dei in viam excitat,
Pluvia Clemens erit sola ira,
Amor pulchritudines autumnalis creavit
Ita ventus autumnus omnes capit.
Viola et viridis in arbores,
Amor scilicet Dei nobis folia donavit.
Rosa, fulvus, et fuscus aureus,
Spadix coronam arboris facit.
Flavus aurantium et aureus ruber,
Colores autumnalis solum silvae ornant,
Colores intra suspirium sunt,
Ut aestiva tarde et mite discedet.
What a beautiful poem, Elizabeth! You are very gifted artistically! Keep up all your creative endeavors, and you will keep adding joy to everyone's lives.

Wow! Canon G, that's quite impressive! Now why is it that ALL the stanza's don't rhyme in Latin? Mary
ReplyDeleteThanks...
ReplyDeleteThere is meter to the poem as I translated it but as you say no rhyme.
As you know also not all poems rhyme nor do they have to. In Latin, poetry too has meter and can rhyme. Since this was only a translation, it doesn't follow dactylic hexameter...I would have to compose to do that or re-write this poem completely and I didn't want infringe on any copy-write laws and have the author sue me....;).
