Constance La France Poet Verse

Autumn Beauty

Leaves have floated into piles,
luminous colors for miles and miles;
burgundy, burnt orange and yellow hovering,
the trees slowly relinquishing and surrendering.

A cool breeze makes them dance,
some quiet and calm, some leap and prance;
the autumn sky, so ever changing,
clouds moving, billowing and expanding.

One blustering cold wind,
the piles empty where once leaves had been;
a brilliant sun touches a tree,
and lovely stained glass windows, I now see.
