Autumn Royal

As the saffron sun takes its final bow Deciduous trees shed their luscious leaves Crimson Moon releases its vernal vow Autumn approaches with its thermal thieves Amber sky prepares as it gently grieves No fire in summer's scurrying splay The winter solstice new Queen of the day... Air now crisp through out a cinnamon sea Flowers faded and leaves show their rainbow Undying umber on a building spree Ginger graces the ground before the snow And fall is falling with a bellows blow Landscapes have changed in a blink of an eye Pumpkin patches appear...Yum! pumpkin pie.
