Autumn Royal

Admire the lovely hues of nature's glaze
As leaves turn from saffron to crimson red
And fireplace burns fire, an amber blaze
Foretelling winter's snowy days ahead
As kids feast merrily on ginger bread.
Sunny days transition to cooler nights,
As cheering begins when football delights.

Romance embraces vistas of amber trees
Saddened as birds move to warmer weather.
Enjoying cinnamon tea as nights freeze
When pumpkin pie lovers get together,
And splendid scenery soon turns umber
As Halloween costumes roam windy street
Anxious for candy chanting trick or treat.

All the changes and beauty autumn brings are beautifully brought in your poem."As Halloween costumes roam windy street/ Anxious for candy chanting trick or treat." Once I had occasion to see Halloween festivities in Florida when I visited my sister. Those memories are still green in me. Greatly enjoyed.
