John Lawless Poet Verse

It's Nature's Way

Flitting ‘mid the subtle hint of fall
lost amid the maple’s camouflage 
she floats on iridescent wings
attended by leaves mimic entourage.

Rises o’er the heights of tartan trees
savors the beauty, courts the breeze
last dance to celebrate the day
curtain call, applause, it’s nature’s play.
