Accord of the Ku's, stringing right along, for Fall, I bring you
"I Hear in Color" Enjoy! ...and Happy Fall!
I hear in color
For what its worth, of falling leaves . . .
Voiced, immodest, Earth
I pick up, redden
Chaste, chthonian sounds, blue
Greens, blend . . . Adust, hues!
Sung shades, timbre woods
Nuance wraiths, undertones, rued
Fall, fells, inundates . . .
Soul's, bound, stipulate! I hear color. Limen sound! Rainbows leave, wan down. . .
Fall, orange; felled, rust
Yellow, crimsons, dust to dust.
Suffusion, graces . . .
Purple pine, traces . . .
Eyes belying, ears, announced
Emblazoned, measures
I hear in color!
Redounding, what death pronounced!
I hear in color . . .
Leaf by leaf, toned, deaf
Heather days of languish waste
Fall sings, color's death
Winter soon songs of . . .
A cadenced, colorless, breath
I hear in Color . . .

A very COLORFUL writing. Enjoyed this and will be reading more of your works.

Evocative of an Ansel Adams print is this photography...Van Kooten has a foreordained talent for expressionistic and allusionistic...she has her feet in both worlds and she retains an allegiance also in verse narrative...I Hear in Color, too...chrysoprase - apple-green variety of chalcedony used as a gem...(Sage Sweetwater)
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
