National Poetry Month may be over but for me, poetry is a year-round exploration of words that dance within the images they create. I have gone back in time to work the digital poetry gallery I started designing in autumn so I can share a sneak peek today. Within the gallery halls, earth's majesty gives rise to a chorus of voices singing the praises of poetry in motion. Join me as I paint earth in fiery hues of an autumn day for:
"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." (Albert Camus)
abundant autumn sets no limits
brush-stroking earth with spun-gold colors-
tranquility leaves its calling card

In a slide presentation below, I offer a sneak peek at Abundant Autumn Gallery of Artistic Expressions. The offerings from some Poetry Friday colleagues illustrate the concept of autumn as a second spring with their brilliant color schemes, imagery, and poetry. You can access this presentation on Google Slides here. The cover to the slide show and the authors are below.
Thank you to the following Poetry Friday poets for their Abundant Autumn digital inspirations:
Linda Baie, Ramona Behnke, Catherine Flynn, Matt Forrest Esenwine, Jan Godown Annino,
Mary Lee Hahn, Brenda Harsham, Molly Hogan, Michelle Kogan, Jone MacCulloch, Diane Mayr,
Kay McGriff, Margaret Simon, Jane Whittingham, Christie Wyman.
The world is full of poetry.
The air is living with its spirit;
The air is living with its spirit;
and the waves dance to the
music of its melodies,
and sparkle in its brightness."
-James Gates Percival, poet
Enjoy listening to The World is Full of Poetry from Earthsongs
Stay tuned for the unveiling of the full Abundant Autumn Gallery of Artistic Expressions with digital inspirations from around the globe. In the meantime, I am heading over to Elizabeth Steinglass' blogsite. She is sharing about her new book, Soccerverse, that inlcudes 22 poems about everything soccer.
Special Note:
If you are interested in offering an Abundant Autumn #imagepoem to my gallery, send it to me either at my email (cvarsalona on gmail) or to Twitter under the hashtag, #AbundantAutumn.
