Ablaze

Crepe Myrtle ablaze, set afire
By sunbeams peeking through
A heavy damp fog that settles
And kisses the fresh dew

Golden leaves contrast the Myrtles
Those leaves on the pecan
And amber needles hang weighted
Lovely in the new dawn

I see my Crepes out the front window and love the colors -- what a great time of year. Your title is so appropriate -- the leaves are ablaze. thank-you for the poem -- morning dew, colors, leaves -- I am ready to hit the day running. All the best.
