Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Autumn Fire

Autumn's song kindles the flame
    To set the leaves ablaze
 Crimson glows and golden hues acclaim
    The fervor that burns with autumn days
 It meanders  to other domains
     And lights the forest with beautiful refrains
 A rhapsody of colors moves on high
   As fire opal tints imbue the sky
    The scene satisfies the soul's desire
 Showing off the splendor of autumn's fire
                           ~-~
