Ethereal Painting of November Foliage

scarlet streaks of fair haired beauty across my transparent window eager inspection shows ribbons of orange a bubble of yellow new hampshire’s elms, oaks and sycamores are bursting I feel humbled by the ultimate painter’s canvas this ethereal painting cannot be replicated by mere man squirrel stands for one second; is he admiring the scenery? he pounces on walnut and is immediately rolled by an opponent they scamper up the tree’s bark in a diagonal dance other seasons cannot hope to compete with beauty of November

The beauty of November and its changing colors are beautifully caught in your poem. Love the image of squirrels scampering up the trees...

Living in New England I get to see much of it unfold right before my eyes. Wonderfully done with magnificent imagery Caren...I think I know that squirrel.
