The Colorful Leaves Are Here

The colorful leaves are here formed within the tree
Is bright with hope, it forms a beautiful, joyful lair
A shining moment outside, coming amazingly
The colorful leaves are here

I find the effect mesmerizing, such as one there
The tree can form greater than anything, perfectly
A gorgeous outlook will produce quite an air

Colors are spread out over many that are made freely
It’s all how you look at it, where none would despair 
The power of the tree, God created masterfully
The colorful leaves are here

Russell Sivey

First attempt at a Roundel, not for the contest as the contest's topic is different.

Poet Destroyer A Date: 4/9/2013 10:31:00 PM Hello Russell, the days are getting cooler and frost is drying up through the air, "SO I HEAR." Beautiful trees and shrubs are put on an autumn show in all shades of red, yellow, purple, and brown down in the Valley where my youngest sister lives.. The image above is splendid, a mesmerizing effect around the crisp fall days that are approaching. I like the vibrant leaves mastered by God, it brings to mind the memories of living out in the Autumn country. It seem like yesterday. Thank you helping me enjoy the view with my touring soul. always~ Linda Login to Reply
