OSI: Shift in Time


One Single Impression is a community of poets writing and sharing poetic forms. Every week OSI offers a new prompt to inspire writing. Thanks to OSI for this week's prompt: Shift in Time.

Autumn
Enchanting season
Colourful array
Visual evolution
A sensory deluge

Lingers momentarily
Then falling leaves
Branches going bare
Apparently dying
Inspire to let go

It's offering
Of endings
And new beginnings
Evokes possibility
Of a change in scene

Autumn
A transitional phase
From ebullience of summer
Into truculent winter
A shift in time!

That shift scatters our words and thoughts like the leaves, I think. It is a wonderful time.

Nice reflections, Celine !
The rolling fallen leaves--some red, some yellow, some brown--whisper their unheard tales of the moments gone by; the memories of once green swaying in summer breeze fly on the wings of Time and life learns the essence of Fall.
Another rhyme of creation is gently playing somewhere--near or far!
Regards,

Nature can really inspire a poet when it comes to shift in time ... the photo is so beautiful, and you captured the shift very well.

I love the moments of transition from one season to another. You've caught it well in words.

Moving through the seasons is a classic shift in time, a most consistent event, at least as far as I can remember, it's been happening forever! Nice job!

Celine, this is nice. I was riding along in that transition and then Wham! Winter hit me in the face.
I am so sorry that I am late, I got behind from the start. I was on a weekend Birthday running away holiday. Some is on my other blog and I will put a little more soon.
It has been a while since I checked you here, I really liked your travel pictures.

Seen all your images ( 3 post) and I am glad that you are taking sab - quite funny that you quoted the meaning from Wiki....lol...what ?you thought we will not believe you if you would have mentioned:-))

OSI - Loved the lines and flow of words and I agree autumn does bring that sad/melancholy but at the same time strange lift. I love this time of year!! And you have really captured some good shots.

NJOY !!

Fall is a beautiful season and I grew to enjoy it in North America, where it is quite unique.
