Autumn Scenes As Nature Presents

Autumn Scenes As Nature Presents The wild deer grazes meadows still in greens And great red hawk soars in sunny blue skies While the peacock struts and so proudly preens Black crows resting, bellow out their cries. Beavers are busy preparing for winter's wrath And squirrels find and then store more nuts Black bear silently walks its well trod path Still yard-bound, the beautiful peacock struts. Ravenous weasel scurries about seeking food Secure in its defense the skunk moves about Forest humming in this peaceful, serene mood Valley below, farmers work bringing crops out. In tallest pine on highest ridge eagle sees All of man's activities so far down below Now soaring in clouds above forested trees Majestic high flying image puts on a show. The wild deer grazes meadows still in greens And great red hawk soars in sunny blue skies While the peacock struts and so proudly preens Black crows resting, bellow out their cries. Robert J.

And because my relentlessly tough and stubborn Muse beat me into abandoning my new long poem on Hell's fires to bang this one on out.
