Jack, Thanks..It is short unless one cares to take it on for a few stanzas. If a person can say what is needed in a few short words then it is a good form for them. Sara

Superbly penned, Sara! Hard-to-do too, and your 'BT' reads seamlessly and meaningfully. G.L. in the contest, Gershon

Gershon, Thanks for the kind review. I did have a hard time writing this one for some reason. I think I was not thinking clearly. Sara

They do look splendid when they are all revved in gold, but it also tells us they'll be closing up for the season soon, thank you for sharing your delightful verse today, and grateful for your kind visit too.

MRR, Yes, we know that ole man winter is around the corner. Here in the south we never know if it will be mild or be a really bad one. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Jennifer, Thanks for dropping by. The leaves only get one summer then they help build up the earth. Even in death they have a purpose. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Nicely done, Sara, and a beautiful picture to go with it. For the contest I think he said 2 words only in the title. Enjoy your day ~ John

John, Thanks for the information. I like that picture also. I only have one tree and I think maybe have had two beautiful seasons of color in about 20 years. The weather doesn't seem to agree with the tree. Sara..Thanks for the visit.

Anitha, Thanks for stopping by. I think this one is a somewhat reverse Than-Bauk. They are not so easy for sure. Sara
