Autumn Colors
AUTUMN COLORS
Trees, and endless squadrons of their fellows,
In full dress with their medals, reds and yellows:
An army in bronze and topaz uniform,
Ready and waiting for orders to fall in and conform;
And in fall - with its rich golden leaf
And needles polished - ready to guard its fief.
