Autumn's Reign (Blank Verse)

Oh, August lips of sunlight kiss the trees and warming breaths of air suspend the frost. The days of summer wrestle winter cold in Autumn's nimbus of splendid bright shades. The summer's end is now emblazoned bright with all the shades of sunsets finest hour. The days so hot but nights get ever cool and flowers turn to brown and die to ground. The Autumn equinox descends too swift September much too quickly fades away The arctic bite of October flows through and steeps the earth within its bitter rain. The chilly, morning tingle on the air as falling dew drenched leaves twist from the trees. The fragile diamonds mirror rainbow hues in spectral prisms of aquatic bliss. Oh, crimson mingled saffron reigns supreme to wrap their cloak about the earth a spell. The season's charismatic carpet donned before the frigid snow of winter weeps.
