Painting, "Willows" by Claude Monet

Autumn's Canvases

Those leaves, like fire before our eyes,
fell down as flames from autumn skies,
then twirled like feathers to the ground
to weave a blanket wrapped around.

Like a chameleon, fall leaves turned,
from scales of green to crimson-burned.
With brushstroke blends of orange-gold,
Bright autumn paintings did unfold.

And like Monet's bold stippled hues,
fall gifts her canvases of views.
