Autumn's Snowflakes

Leaves, Autumn's snowflakes
Yellow and red paint the ground
Trees are trimmed in gold
Pushed by the whispering winds
Sharing their hidden treasure

The frost bites the earth
Sending a chill to it's core
The smell of Autumn
Drowning the flower's perfume
The flowers bow in envy

Gardens stand empty
Gleaned under the harvest moon
With paintbrush in hand
Autumn becomes the artist
Painting nature's masterpiece

wow, I am seeing so many amazing poems that were entered into this one contest so long ago. I had even changed it to another judge's contest already! Glad I still kept mine in this contest too. Big congrats on this gem.
