Top 10 Poems for the Enchanting Fall Season

CHANGING SEASON

Streets no longer inquire about you
As the days are dwindling away
A lotus, gentle as a grass blade
Sheds petals numerous times in the dew.

It holds back anyone's lingering memories
Please store them with the pain
Don't bring them out to the cold attic
Our hearts are now thoroughly clean

Streets no longer recall you
The intoxicated wanderer in the vague evening
Sorrow extends in the night, pouring in solitude
Weaving the charm of a virgin's soul.

We walk into the returning season
Inviting the new sunlight joyfully
Farewell to make the soul beautiful again
After a life of treacherous multi-folds.

MISSED RENDEZVOUS
(Poem by Phan Huy Hùng)

Surprised...
Autumn pats my shoulder
Look back, and I see leaves and branches parting ways
Oh Autumn!
Don't hastily blame yourself
A piece of rice, a heavy heart... forgetting Autumn
Let it be
Autumn has given itself
Accepted... but made an appointment error with Autumn
Love's mistake
Patience, please - wait a moment - my own Autumn
Busy, let's rearrange... for love with Autumn!

THE WANDERING LEAF
By: Phạm Hồng Giang

A withered leaf drifts through the realm of longing
Autumn still bears much contemplation, oh dear

He seeks the days lost to oblivion
Gathering the loneliness, desolation unfolds.

Half the poem resonates with the melancholy evening
The empty alley freezes in the chilly wind
Suddenly feeling the emptiness of a pair of arms
Autumn confused, the scent of Milky Flowers.

The leaf drifts, swayed by a sudden gust
Then unintentionally lost in the void
Despite life's weariness, eyes await
Hope tinges the horizon in a vacant sky.

Sunset descends on the calm, green lake
The wind whispers quietly, profoundly angry
The evening bends, immersed in aspirations
Lulling dreams into the realm of illusion.

The withered leaf amid life's tumultuous flow
Suddenly feels itself...
Naive...
Through the passing months and days!

THE LAST LEAF
Poem by: Dạ Quỳnh

The last leaf lingers into late autumn's embrace
As you depart, the season loses its enchantment
One, two, three, four... every day silently reminding
Loving someone, silently surrendering to the winter sky.

Not every longing can be counted or measured
The thread of love fragile as bamboo curtain strings in the wind
An indifferent gust of wind... sweeps away love
not pausing at the end of the alley
So, the moonlight hovers, waiting for the night dew.

It seems August has just crossed the threshold
Not calm but... like my heart, turbulent
Reaching out, gently holding onto the season, don't rush
Fearful... that the last leaf might fall
losing your footprints.

The Lonely Chair
Poem by Trịnh Thanh Hằng

The autumn breeze drifts back to the old place
Yellow leaves cover the entire space
That chair stands desolate, stark and bare
Lying lonely midst autumn, leaves replace.

Time, how could you be so unintentional?
Season after season, where does longing go?
Flying autumn leaves reveal only sorrow
Countless memories carried away with the years.

This evening, pink clouds wander carefree
Suddenly filled with memories of days past
This chair, once a rendezvous and repast
So many dreams and the intoxication of that day.

Today, returning, desolation is so deep
The chair remains, but the person is gone
With much love for the solitary chair alone
Lying desolate under the autumn sky, leaves fall.

Tomorrow, life's path is too chaotic
Will there be a time of nostalgia for the old place?
Come back here, to the old path's embrace
Warm the chair, rid it of lonely and bleak.

Poetry by Trịnh Thanh Hằng

RETURNING TO AUTUMN
Poem by Red Sunset

He passes through the autumn
Golden leaves remind of longing
She returns, lost in thought
A heartache quietly unfolding.

Far away at the edge of the sky
The sun is setting in the horizon
Wandering clouds make promises
Weaving love on both shores.

That distance, a journey of miles
She cannot reach
Season after season, the wait continues
Nestled in the fragility of hope.

The sweet memory of that longing
Don't rush past each other
On the river of myriad paths
Touch the heart of her.

Autumn arrives gently
The sound of rain is rustling
Trampling on a melancholy
Yearning to return to love.

She sits listening to the evening
Surprised by a falling leaf
On the other side of life's haste
Will you come back to her?

THIS AUTUMN MORNING
Poem by Huy Viễn

One autumn morning blends with the wind
Lulling the heart, evoking distant lips
The purple flowers shyly blooming
The golden sunbeam stirs silently.

Is it the dew of sadness in the gaze?
Or the damp scene, perhaps a pearl?
Look! In the color of leaves, whose soul lingers?
One autumn morning blends with the wind.

Yearning for the Season
Poem by Phan Thu Hà

Yearning for the season as if tomorrow is the last day
Twisting myself, shedding the pure leaves
Rain rushes to exhaust the fleeting afternoon
Drying the distant sky surprisingly.

Already quietly wearing thin clothes against the cold shoulders
Chilling the heart of trees shedding leaves in the rain
The old phoenix tree, once promised, now stands alone
Now far away are the days of farewells.

The wind releases its hair, the sky with sparkling dewdrops
Coldly returns, hesitating on the familiar path
Fallen leaves silently recall the old promises
Staring blankly, who is walking through the city lights.

The moon has not reached the fullness of the season yet
Leaning on the thin moonlight over the desolate street
The weakened tree sadly leans on the strange shadow
The bitterness of longing and the pain on the lips.

Yearning for the season, the bamboo path returns
The moon secretly comforts the moss of sorrow
Yearning for the person in the silver robe, the grass of life has faded
When will love sprout again...

Phan Thu Hà - 17/8/2018

A LIFETIME TOGETHER
Poem by Nguyễn Phương Anh

Squeezed dry, life's green remains a couple of seeds
Dried, we lean, shadows holding each other
Wisps of hair flying, leaving behind the bare essence
Still leaning on each other, beautifully transcendent!

AUTUMN AND ME.
Poem by Phan Thị Tuyết Vân

Do you see autumn overflowing on the leaves?

Fading away without haste, the autumn arrives.
The sun crisply descends onto the doorstep.
Like a nightly rendezvous with the moon.

Do you see autumn guiding the way?
Fragrance profound, immersed on familiar lips.
Surrendering the soul to elevate the longing.
Wishing to embrace the entire tremulous love skyward.

Do you perceive autumn returning with nostalgia?
Golden leaves spread across the familiar path.
Night raindrops lightly kiss the soft hair.
For the small heart to carry the nostalgia.

Do you sense the tempting scent of Autumn's love?
Spreading richly, arousing a realm of dreams.
The yellow color paints a beautiful poetic verse.
As if weaving...
the enchanting melody of autumn love...!!!
