Autumn's Reign (Blank Verse)
Oh, August lips of sunlight kiss the trees
and warming breaths of air suspend the frost.
The days of summer wrestle winter cold
in Autumn's nimbus of splendid bright shades.
The summer's end is now emblazoned bright
with all the shades of sunsets finest hour.
The days so hot but nights get ever cool
and flowers turn to brown and die to ground.
The Autumn equinox descends too swift
September much too quickly fades away
The arctic bite of October flows through
and steeps the earth within its bitter rain.
The chilly, morning tingle on the air
as falling dew drenched leaves twist from the trees.
The fragile diamonds mirror rainbow hues
in spectral prisms of aquatic bliss.
Oh, crimson mingled saffron reigns supreme
to wrap their cloak about the earth a spell.
The season's charismatic carpet donned
before the frigid snow of winter weeps.
