Autumn's Magic

On a day filled with autumn sunshine With colours so vividly displayed Painting a rich picture in texture and colour Stately pines, towering cliffs, a palisade Mother Nature's proudest achievements Unmatched by any of man's canvas Colours so rich, with so varied a palette A picture of serenity so infectious Absolute beauty that lasts only a short while But returns same time every year This ravishing beauty, nature's crowning glory The sight can bring one to tears People have called it autumn's magic That time of the year when we gasp At the vistas of our glorious surroundings I will revel in it's splendour to the last © Jack Ellison 2013

Where's the fun in writting about leaves?...or that's what Dragon told me. But he IS a little sensitive about fall leaves... They tend to go POOF too easily, you see!... LOL... I think it's a Cool write for a Cool topic... Dragon is just too HOT to understand... Poor Dragon! Hope he'll be able to control his flames better next year... We tried hosing down some leaves for him... it helped... but when he jumped in... they went POOF! He did find that momentarily fun... It's hard being a Dragon!
