Flames of Scarlet
The gilding of the canopies
requires Autumn's Midas touch.
Whereas amber and orange leaves
get inlaid with gold filigree.
Jack Frost's icy breath ushers in
the gilding of the canopies.
And with yellow and crimson tints,
Nature dabbles in abstract art.
Fallen leaves crackle underfoot:
as squirrels scamper for acorns.
The gilding of the canopies;
indicates it's time to store nuts.
The honking geese start flying south,
over blazing leaves of scarlet.
Autumn's color change began with
the gilding of the canopies.
