Autumn's Leaves

A mellowing stream bleaches amber gown Producing a triage of yellow, orange and brown Fall's residual wave with pageantry redound  A plumed cloak doth stunted foliage crown A vigil of decadence and decay doth abound A fleeting shadow kisses the barren ground Autumn's winds summarily the gallant parade doth confound Deciduous wreath dismantles and trickles down A glistening ensemble with hushed tones doth resound A temporal garnish covers each, sodden mound Anon, elements leaching crescent lobes mercurial splendor doth impound
