Autumn reflections at Scotney Castle in Kent.

Poem.

 

Serene lake of sumptuous reflections.

Gold, orange, yellow, tan, brown, burgundy

blend, contrast, supplement and complement

the multifarious shades of green, each

fading into the death-throes of

a glorious autumn transformation.

This rich tapestry of life,

the embroidered, burnished patterns sculpted

and woven on to this quintessentially

English landscape of Kent,

leaves me speechless.

Such a complex, intricate, abundant feast

of colour, tone and texture.

The senses are overwhelmed…..

it becomes unreal, surreal, dream-like.

Autumn is magical, and rarely is it more so,

than here, on a perfect October afternoon.
