Amber, garnet, tourmaline,
Autumn's jewels waft gently down
softly blanketing soon spent earth.
Falling from wanton hope and heat
to riches -- swift decay 'neath
crystalline glaze and threadbare snow.

A beautiful trio of Autumn jewels...
lovely colorful poem.
love autumn's jewels - nicely pictured...
The beautiful colors of fall! I love the sound of "soon spent earth" and "threadbare snow." (Only a fiber artist would think of that last one - gorgeous!)
jewels in the fall, crusted by jewels of winter...very nice write....
I'd love some rings with those 'leaves' in them! A delightful piece. Crystalline glaze. Nice image!
Love those beautiful jewel references. Yummy.
I can see the autumn jewels. What a beautiful poem.
