Autumn's Deed

Autumn presents its scheduled deed
     as it ends summer with a wow
and sees the chance to fill a need
     for letting Nature zzz for now.

Since spring and summer put up much
     as revver post cold winter's round,
new fall's esse will be the crutch
     to peep how nature's rest be found.

'Fore winter's sleep, fall's radar says
     its solos must lead to the end
with burnished colors, redder rays...
     repaper summer's fading trend,

make way for winter's sleepy eve
     just like it did the year before,
while roots and buds will eke, conceive
     ere spring rebirths her next encore.
