Autumn Celebration

For just one heavenly moment 
the fiery leaves of fall blaze forth
bursting along the rolling hillsides
in brief, magical pageantry. 

Electric red leaves light up
like firecrackers in celebration 
neon orange and yellow leaves
shine, translucent in the sun
cool purple leaves calm the pallet. 

Trees swoon and sway in fall’s breeze
a crescendo of kaleidoscope colors 
that peak in a patriotic wave 
a shimmering vision 
for autumn’s Fourth of July.

Hard pressed to think of a better ode to Autumn. How are you. Hope you are not in flood zone. I am now nearly 4 years cancer free and have no more follow-ups at Wellington Hospital. I was so lucky to get the test I needed. Too many now do not meet the criteria. My doctor insisted when the hospital at first refused my Colonoscopy. Have a great Christmas if I don't catch up before then Fondest regards David in NZ. ps our grandson is such good company now 4 in February.
