  8. Darla...

    What another amazing piece you've created. The richness and beauty of autumn, all its own. I echo every comment left above.

    And your lovely painting (a poem in itself) brought this poem to my mind...

    "The autumn comes, a maiden fair
    In slenderness and grace,
    With nodding rice-stems in her hair
    And lilies in her face.

    In flowers of grasses she is clad;
    And as she moves along,
    Birds greet her with their cooing glad Like bracelets' tinkling song.

    A diadem adorns the night
    Of multitudinous stars;
    Her silken robe is white moonlight,
    Set free from cloudy bars;
    And on her face (the radiant moon)
    Bewitching smiles are shown:
    She seems a slender maid, who soon
    Will be a woman grown.

    Over the rice-fields, laden plants
    Are shivering to the breeze;
    While in his brisk caresses dance
    The blossomed-burdened trees;
    He ruffles every lily-pond
    Where blossoms kiss and part,
    And stirs with lover's fancies fond
    The young man's eager heart."
