Autumn Ambles In

Waiting to dislodge the domain of summer, she dawdles on the sidewalk, watching the shenanigans of Mother Nature.  Supported by blazing sun, the dog days of summer linger but they match my yearning of breezy afternoons, of chaste colors lending exquisite grandeur to the new season.

watch morning glory,
as a new coolness vibrates
autumn ambles in.

Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry.

My Kigo words: The dog days of summer, morning glory, a new coolness.

colors
rock our cradle
we are bubbles of joy
life sounds sublime initially
carefree!

yellow 
and green mingle
to welcome the first steps
butterflies add charm and magic
gleeful!

 crimson
flutters young hearts
new passion reigns supreme
love gets a new connotation
blissful!

Darker 
shades permeate
Black and gray dominate
Shadows hover around to scare
eerie.

ashen 
and pale jolt us
but life keeps on smiling
if we let the woeful clouds pass
souls merge.

Thanks to Colleen for a weekly TankaTuesday challenge, which asks for any syllabic form based on the theme prompt. This week’s theme is “Transitions.” I’ve again tried a new form of poetry.
This poem is a Crown Cinquain, five stanzas, each with syllable count of 2/4/6/8/2.
Thanks for the inspiration Colleen.
