Fall Foliage

F ire on horizon this time of year, A utumn ushers in winter’s sear. L ight slowly fades a bit each day, L ess time now for outdoor play. F loods of colour on the trees, O ccur before the big freeze. L eaves scatter as rain falls, I t’s our warning - winter calls. A maple leaf gives the best show, G olds, reds, orange all aglow. E njoyed by all - a Thanksgiving. Written August 27, 2012 For Francine Robert’s contest “Autumn Acrostic”

I love your F word: FLOODS of colour!! (hope I did not scare you when I said that!!) Really, it was my favorite line because it was pure imagery and made me feel those colors flooding through the groves of trees!! Congrats on your win.

You will make Francine's decision making a bit more difficult with this fine acrostic entry. It looks like a very strong contender.
