Autumn’s Ambrosia

NATURE

Image by the writer

September pulled itself out

From sultry August’s brine

A flicker of wing, a peel of bark

Leaves renounce pink of hearts

of birch, oak and lofty chinars.

O autumn! your light unveils

gold’s tarnished hues and tints

pigments plump, passions drying.

immerse in autumn’s ambrosia

reflections, shadows, highlights.

Era Garg, September 2023

Thanks, Literary Impulse and Priyanka Srivastava for inviting submissions. The publication is a treasure trove of poetry.

Autumn is arriving with the September equinox in my country Bharat situated in the northern hemisphere. Though not very prominent colour changes in foliage are observed in tropical countries, fall always mesmerises me.
