Autumn Royal

Rains came and went at the end of summer Ginger sky now dons the attire in blue Winds blow gentle telling winter is near Trees see the branches take on amber hue Umber leaves forget they were green when new They suffer silently the autumn’s fall Spread on the ground at cinnamon soil’s call. Crimson sun sets evening sky on fire Washed by rain my mind gets all the colors In my backyard in left over summer Survive still the climbing pumpkin creepers Saffron rose wavers before it withers To remind me I paint the autumn scene Winter follows the fall brings spring within.
