Autumn Leaves

The floral foliage of Fall fuels my pen to flow Nature's carmine carnage is a crimson condition to watch Russet quills of the trees float down in myriad shades Amber leaves levitating like flying embers Auburn arrows gliding to meet the earth Soft sepia smiles sent down from the Shepherd above Burnished varnished tree-bits travelling back to the ground Crumbling orange smidgens creating crunchy cracklings Brown bracts brave enough to bed with the soil Gamboge hues gamboling like golden glowing gems Lurid leaflets leaving their last lucid legacy Before they turn into les feuilles mortes

Love the alliteration dear friend. This, too, struck me: "Crumbling orange smidgens creating crunchy cracklings..." Crumbling orange smidgens creating crunchy cracklings..." Congratulations! :)
