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
