Clouds strolled by
on the wings of wind.
Dark gray on a background of pewter
with the occasional shimmer
of silver or blue.
Cold stopped the sap
from flowing through the veins
of deciduous leaves
ripping the blue
from their spectrum
and leaving only
the fires of yellow,
orange and red
to warm Fall’s chill.

Very nice!
My Friday 55 is in verse, too, except I'm nowhere near as classy. :)
You can read it here.
Nice capture of the season.
Ohhh! I liked this one...makes me want to sit in front of a fireplace and stay toasty warm. Definitely got the feeling of fall. Great 55!
Ahhh Yes, Autumnal bliss!
Excellent seasonal 55 MM...
Thank You for this fine contribution..
And FYI...I didn't spell anything out to everyone. I only explained it to the Dragons!
They are older than us....G
Fall, my fave time of the year... love your 55!
Beautifully described.
MM, my favorite 55 of yours to date. I love it when words paint a picture so vivid that you are right there ~ in the moment. Excellent.

This was beautiful. Seems you are not the only one to be thinking of fall this week. After raking a zillion leaves, I wanted to forget it myself.
Check out my 55 HERE.
This is about the finest lament at the seasons turn as I have read this year. Well done MM.

The sky can be pewter, can't it. Decidulous leaves. . .
You really earned your Scribbler award with this one! Fine photo and poem. Loved the fire line (altogether different from the firing line). Cheers!

Fall is my favorite season. Nicely done :) Thanks for visiting mine!
Loved this; such beautiful fall images! The photo's beautiful too.
That was really good! I would like fall much better if I didn't have so many leaves to rake.
very nice...well done.

Great flying weather for dragons
