Beautiful Autumn
Cornstalks and long walks
Autumn's ablaze
Every day's a picture postcard
in so many ways.
The leaves in the trees
adrift, falling down.
bits still of green
many more of them brown.
Aurum and orange
crimson and bronze.
Fairies have painted the leaves
with their wands.
Kaleidoscopes swirling,
unfurling
spinning colors in waves.
like windswept rainbows
in sunlight, Amaze!
Apples and ciders
cobwebs and their spiders.
pumpkins and brisk winds
scarecrows and afghans.
Such are the delights
of these crisp Autumn Days.
We treasure and commemorate
in so, many ways.
Wearing Sweaters 'round Bonfires
sharing with family and friends.
We reap as we sow, again and
again.
harvest to harvest, Autumn to
Autumn!
These are the picture postcards
of Autumn's sweet days
kept alive in our memories
long after she fades!
