Slow train treat
Slow train treat alone
Window seat
Travelling west to south
Line layed across the landscape
Edged with embankment trees
Certainly set by an artist
Lover of colour ardent for
Scarlet, all the reds
Circling tone by tone
Claret to burgundy
Cinnabar, sienna
Orange to melon
Peach pear lemon
Yellow to gold, bold, compliment/ clash
Hot slice of the rainbow
Glorious in edible oils
Re-load the brush, dip
Daub for the copper beech
The chestnuts, birch and oak
Ablaze in a wood or copse
Fields far as the eye can see
Echoes again in umber
Of aubergine damson plum
Furrowed in winter earth
Gorgeous the glittering gift
Under a luminous sky
Eye to heart, heart in mouth
Breath-taken
Travelling west to south

So lovely, Sally. I could see it all as I read - an I'm sure enjoy it as much as you were doing!
ReplyDeleteYes I can relate to everything in this poem, on a good day it can be a wonderful journey. So pleased it was for you, the sunlight was so wonderful. I ended up going down to Chew Valley Lake later that day, must have been the same artist, definately the same palette.Walked in Leigh Woods this afternoon, Autumn this year is magnificent for colour and light.
