Autumn's Palette

Autumn has always awakened the artist in me
   with its bold palette of crimson, umber and gold.
Ruffled russet gowns, once adorning tree limbs
   lay wrinkled and scattered across the forest floor.

Lovely autumn imagery, Jenna. I really like the picture of the "russet gowns" "wrinkled on the floor." Congratulations on your win! Sending you blessings of the season in gowns of bright red holly berries.

Jenna, from the title through the colors of autumn, to the "Ruffled russet gowns" lying wrinkled on the forest floor, this was a delight to read. Congratulations on your worthy win with Greg, going over now to read the original work ~ John
