Autumn's Reign

Gingko’s golden leaves Intermingling maple red Glorious carpet Strolling through autumn’s return Mesmerized and delighted. Chrysanthemum blooms Vine maple dotting hillsides Lingering roses Color, color everywhere Last call to outdoor dining Pilfering raccoons Raiding cornfields and orchards Laughing at farmers Indian summer picnicking Last hurrah before winter For Amy Green's contest "Enchantment of Fall Tanka Moment"
