The Autumn Maidens

Inspired By A Painting In The Enchanted Booklet

'Autumn leaves' by Franklin Booth, 1911.

Introduction

The Enchanted Booklet is a wonderful source of inspiration for me. This is where I found this one, and I will dedicate this to my friend Cherri and her daughter Autumn.

This is a sonnet.

The music is "Autumn Leaves" by Eva Cassidy

The Autumn Maidens

🍂🍃🧙🍁🧙🍁🧙🍃🍂
The Autumn Maidens Once More Are Here
Turning All The Leaves From Green To Gold
Each September, These Ladies Appear
Goodbye To Summer, Leaves Fall, Behold
🧙🍂🧙🍂🧙
Sorceresses, Forest Guardians
These Are The Keepers Of All The Trees
If You Look Up Now You May See Them
Before They Fly Away On The Breeze
🧙🍂🧙🍂🧙
They Tell The Leaves It Is Time To Go
To Leave Their Branches, Slowly Spin Down
Float Gracefully, Magically Slow
A Carpet Of Gold Is On The Ground
🧙🍂🧙🍂🧙
The Autumn Maidens Once More Are Here
As They Return Each And Every Year
🍂🍃🧙🍁🧙🍁🧙🍃🍂
