Autumn's Tints

As autumn flings her crimson robe

Each meadow spills a nectar's brew...

That  in between, the leaves evoke

All ruby tints of night’s debut;

When cerise tendrils, mauve on oak

Parade their splendor in full view,

Then back again through red-flushed sky

Where Northern lights glow like magi !



Contest 241 of Brian Strand
