Crackling
Burning.
Flags,
Flapping
Parchments.
Scattering.
Leaves are turning
Rustling
Rushing
A stream
A waterfall
Cascading
Blustering
Music
Seduces
Sleep
Encased
In glassy
Embrace
We lie
Sheltered
From autumn’s
Stain
Soothed
By the hiss
Of rain
Toxic Autumn

Everything seems to be on fire here and still at peace at the same.
I see images that reminds me of the coming together of a "beauty" and a "beast"
Love the way you use natural elements as a source of inspiration. I use colours most times especially black.
This is fantastic.

I've just started on Steemit and this has been a really nice poem to have as an introduction to the community. So much imagery for so few words. Nice work :)

When I was young we burned leaves by the curb. I loved the smell, but alas it’s not allowed any more. Good use of alliteration, nice poem.

I like it.. Nice job! I have some writings if interested.. https://steemit.com/@elevatedthinking
I also noticed it says 6 views on my page when I look at this poem but you have over a 100 up votes in 30 minutes... seems kind of odd. There must be a lot of computer generated votes or something. Or something I'm missing. Anyways, I read it. Create creativity. I don't see much like that.

thanks. Re: your views - you don't have many followers right now so it's slow going. Most vote and respond within the first hour

You're welcome. I didn't make myself clear before I guess. For instance.. I just clicked on your poem and it says 11 views at the bottom. 200 up votes.. that's what I was talking about. I only looked at it like three times to make sure I was seeing it correctly. Which it doesn't seem to count passed my first view. It's like most of yours are whales / people don't even read it, just up vote. You do have a ton of followers so I bet it's people that have something set to up vote at a particular time after a post shows up on certain peoples accounts. Like steemvoter or something similar. Congrats on your success. You deserve what you get. Also, if you want to know the best time for you to post..

Scroll to where it says best time and it will have your top four times to post. According to your account. BTW anyone can use this tool for theirs by typing in their name in the top left. The guy who created it is in the top right. For those that were unaware of this information.

yes, I use voting apps, and sometimes bots boost a post's value.
A few months agoI couldn't get 20 votes to post on steemland (it's now defunct) so you must be patient and keep posting good content until you get noticed.
I always post at 2pm and 8-9pm EST. I know some time slots are busier than others, but my followers are on at those times and can count on my posting in that window. You have to be predictably consistent every day, every time
