Autumn Fire


Outside my window,
the trees have begun to burn,
Fire set by Nature 
in tints of scarlet auburn;

Flames have been kindled 
in woods that blaze and sizzle,
Vermilion red leaves,
like claret embers dazzle;

As I stand and watch,
the foliage descends down,
It's like a fire Fall
in burgundy and brown.
