Autumn Colors Are Amazing

A pageant of seasonal beauty
Unfurls amongst deciduous trees.
Tawny leaves are edged in reds and golds,
Unique to Autumn's color palette.
Muse to poets, sculptors, and artists,
Nature inspires Jack Frost's masterpiece.

Color plays out like a rhapsody,
Of subtle notes in a melody.
Lacquered leaves, orange and cerise, fall
On the ground, below oaks and maples.
Raining down like wind-blown confetti;
Scarlet and tangerine commingle.

Autumn is like a magical sprite,
Riding atop colored canopies,
Elvishly inking the changing leaves.

Almond and magenta, interlace:
Magnifying their intensity.
And groves of birchbark trees resemble
Zebra, left exposed to Winter winds.
Intrinsically ostentatious,
Nothing, short of Spring, can rival the
Glorious spectacle, we call Fall.

Congratulations Emile! This is so masterfully crafted and I do like the last two lines - "nothing short of spring can rival the glorious spectacle, we call fall." Fall is definitely a spectacle! Sending you all the blessings of the season.
