Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

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

Carol Eastman November 1, 2013 at 6:15 PM 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! Jack Ellison November 1, 2013 at 7:10 PM You can tell him these leaves are still on the trees and they're beautiful! Does he like beautiful things??? xoxoxox
