A Walk To Mt. Equinox
Tall joyous giants stalk the autumn blue sky.
In the solitude of their gargantuan grace.
Gaze up, with your head flung back
Yes! Happy as a lark.
For a moment the plagues of the heart
just fall apart.
Bark rises on a voyage to the sun.
Beyond the crowd of sun seized leaves.
Intent to stun.
The terminal green still harmonizes with the eye.
It all feels so peaceful, leaves electric
before their fate to die.
High above lemon yellows and mulberry red,
canopy the path ahead.
And don't forget, the rickety trees
Jutting stick like branches in their obsession
to touch the chill of the breeze.
Nature's soldiers in glorious salute.
In her fall beauty, the forest stands astute.
In the solitude of their gargantuan grace.
Gaze up, with your head flung back
Yes! Happy as a lark.
For a moment the plagues of the heart
just fall apart.
Bark rises on a voyage to the sun.
Beyond the crowd of sun seized leaves.
Intent to stun.
The terminal green still harmonizes with the eye.
It all feels so peaceful, leaves electric
before their fate to die.
High above lemon yellows and mulberry red,
canopy the path ahead.
And don't forget, the rickety trees
Jutting stick like branches in their obsession
to touch the chill of the breeze.
Nature's soldiers in glorious salute.
In her fall beauty, the forest stands astute.

Again, I see you growing as an artist. I don't mean to stoke your ego so much with all of my commentary, only I'm trying to be encouraging. You break down and build up what your visuals mean to you in a unique way, creating a feel with detailed observations, almost as if putting the finishing touches on a painting. Can be kind of like a camera taking a picture, or filming, as well, in terms of transition and direction, and angles to view and zoom in and out of. Very colorful words and language dance like wind in the leaves, swirling a myriad representation of your expression. You get minute and specific, using direct association of vocabulary, and the depiction of examples, you capture well, in the overall writing. The whole theme reminds me of Autumn, obviously. Good job. Anyway, see you around.

Thank you once again for your comments. It does encourage me that I may be helping foster a vivid mental image of the forest. Writing of nature flows through me so naturally, I never struggle for words with nature. It is so kind of you to break down your thoughts on the poem.
Have a great weekend.

I wasn't familiar with 4 K, duh. If that's your comment, then thank you so very much. It was written looking at a series of photographs. My brother is like a traveling mountain man, and his photographs are stunning.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Have a great weekend.
