A Color Extravaganza
October is a pageant of color,
that celebrates the bounty of Summer.
Yet, Jack Frost, Autumn's gentleman caller,
opts to dance to a different drummer:
welcoming Winter as the newcomer.
Fall's a phantasmagorical season:
boasting a color extravaganza.
And Autumn's changing leaves are the reason
poets tout Nature's golden bonanza
of beauty: as a poetic stanza.
Scarlet and cerise ignite overnight:
as fairies set green canopies afire.
And although most songbirds have taken flight,
Fall offers so much beauty to admire:
Autumn colors never cease to inspire.
The air gets chilly; each breath crisp and clean:
underfoot, dry leaves make a crackling sound.
Crimson and orange leaves, shred Summer's green
into confetti that gets blown around
by brisk breezes, and scattered on the ground.
