Premiere Contest WinnerA Season of Color

My favorite wonders and magic found in each Fall are the way colors of trees raptly begin to sprawl Across the woodland paths that I like to wander the season fills me with many poems to ponder Blazing leaves of yellow against skies of Prussian blue then russets and copper and royal red break through Swirling reflections saturate winding waterways beautiful pallets to fill my picture-perfect seeking gaze When gusty winds and rain come to gleefully play We see the leaves set sail from the trees as they sway As mist curls in the dawn, the nights welcome the cold Autumn too must end so winter can begin to enfold

I am really missing the fall colors this year...usually I would be in Canada and would enjoy many walks along the kaleidoscope of fall colors. Thank you for your wonderful comment.

Wonderful. In reading this poem, I wanted to reach for my camera. I have never felt like doing that before. So. It is important that you know. Excellent work. Ann
