“autumn gilt” by valerie bloom the late september sunshine lime green on the linden leaves burns bronze on the slated roof-tops, yellow on the farmer’s last sheaves. it flares flame-like on the fire hydrant, is ebony on the blackbird’s wing, blue beryl on the face of the ocean, glints gold on the bride’s wedding ring. a sparkling rainbow on the stained-glass window, it’s a silver sheen on the kitchen sink, the late september sunshine is a chameleon, i think. source: bloom, valerie. “autumn gilt.” let me touch the sky. new york: macmillan children’s books, 2000. the poetry archive. web. 7 june 2011. analyze the use of figurative and literal language, poetic techniques, and sound devices in this poem. refer to specific lines in your answer.
