Color Me, Autumn

Color me, Autumn, the color of trees - of rich amber honey, brown berry and red, bright yellow, orange, and late summer’s green, which lingers a while with fall’s cooling breeze. And paint me the hue found in my garden bed - of September‘s asters and heaven's sheen.

very clever use of rhyme...the couplets can be read as pairs separately as well as being part of the ensemble......well up to your usual high standard Andrea......your skill is self evident but unfortunately not reflected in the placing.....shoulda been much higher in my view....best w Syd

yes, as Kash says, I, too, can view this scene - beautiful poem, my friend (to answer your question, yes, we say pennies over here - I was surprised it was an American word - I expected cents and dimes)
