Autumn Colors

Maple trees adorn yellow and orange blaze 
Colorful vistas dance singing nature's praise
Crispy cooler days embellish in colorful ways

Brighter moon reigns over twilight's dull haze
Canvas of falling leaves oscillates in sun's rays
Colorful vistas dance singing nature's praise

Sunset orange and red sets evening-sky ablaze
Distant stars glitter igniting hues that amaze 
Canvas of falling leaves oscillates in sun's rays

Birds migrating south foretell winter, as always
Meadows brown and gold attractive to gaze
Distant stars glitter igniting hues that amaze 

Kids frolic in cold, happy with candy they raise
Thanksgiving dinners charm families with grace
Meadows brown and gold attractive to gaze

Autumn wraps barren trees in cinnamon glaze
Maple trees adorn yellow and orange blaze 
Thanksgiving dinners charm families with grace
Crispy cooler days embellish in colorful ways

"Autumn wraps barren trees in cinnamon glaze Maple trees adorn yellow and orange blaze " This couplet depicts Autumn in its gist and in its most salient features. Lovely autumn scenes.
