Autumn

The granddaughter awakens
It is early morning, a pumpkin glows orange
As the wind pushes dry leaves
Around a tree
In which five ravens sit quietly
One she raven caws softly to the others as she tells a story.

The granddaughter sits at her desk, she is writing a story
She begins: The goddess awakens
She rises from her bed-quietly
It is early morning- the moon glows orange
She puts on her necklace the one with a pendant shaped like a tree
Bare of its leaves

The goddess stretches forth her hand, in which she holds green leaves.
The grandmother enters the bedroom where the granddaughter is busy writing her story
The ravens watch the grandmother and granddaughter from their perch on the tree.
The orange cat lying at the foot of the bed awakens
The rising sun casts an orange light into the room where the granddaughter writes quietly

The goddess twirls the leaves quietly
The leaves
Slowly change from green to orange
The grandmother peeps curiously at the granddaughter’s story
The goddess awakens
Fall as the leaves change color on the tree.

The ravens stir on the limbs of the tree
They stretch their wings quietly
Cold air pushes against the ravens wings and awakens
The orange cat who is dreaming of chasing dried leaves
The granddaughter pauses her story
As the grandmother drapes a shawl across the granddaughter’s shoulders it is orange

The pumpkin in the vegetable patch glows orange
The ravens have flown back to the tree
As the granddaughter considers her story
The cat jumps out of the tree quietly
The wind blows sending more leaves
Sailing into the air- The grandmother has been napping when she awakens

The granddaughter’s imagination awakens as the room blazes with the color orange
The leaves of the tree
Quietly wait for her to finish her story

Dear Readers,
Both "Autumn" and "Saturday" have been written in a poetry form called the sestina.
If you go to Wikipedia.com, they have a pretty good explaination of what a sestina is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sestina).
The sestina is a patterned poem. It has a total of seven stanzas. Six of the stanzas have six lines and the last stanza is three lines (called a tercet). It is the ending words that have a strict word order. If you look at my first stanza and label the last words as A, B, C, D, E, F, and then look at my next line, you'll get the idea that I use the last words over and over throughout the six stanzas in patterned ways. As I stated earlier the ending word order pattern is strict.
I wrote "Saturday," recently, for a poetry class that I am taking. I enjoyed creating "Saturday" so much that I wrote a poem for Fall called "Autumn." I hope that you enjoy these.
