Autumn's Scintillating Charade

Balmy summer air to southern climes doth repair On horizon, blue azure panels shaded with smoky tincture Silky, white fondue relpaced by pallid, silver hue Fondling, summer breezes; gripping, autumnal wind freezes Cooling waves react with fertile leaves; amber gown doth retract Nutrient-rich chlorophyll doth spill and sugary saps rill Anon, doth ween a bright, colorful sheen Golden crescents and cherry strobes with lobes iridescent Rounded discs on Global Willow in creamy glaze mellow Spiny-toothed, Red Oak leaves flossed with reddish- green gloss Sugar Maple stars bathed in a bright pumpkin lathe Ovular Blue Beech blades are brushed with a brackish rust Veins of Aspen heart umbrella bleed bright yellow Pentagram lobes of Sweet Gum gilded with purple robes After scintillating charade, garnished blades began to fade Leaves' life-giving juices the stout bough refuses Nutritious store salvaging trunk doth score The regal, shimmering gown now shriveling crown A duller shade of brown on the crumpled folds redound Last gasp, its withering anchor doth cast Descending from mercurial splendor to mother natures blender August 21, 2012
