Last Hurrah

Autumn brings colors to uplift "summer's soul" "washing withered" greens with bright patina; the eyesight delight which brightens and abets, with "fiery fusion," new scenes old summer will accept- highlights, imparted justly, as her season's last hurrah while she leaves, bereaves her lost Xanadu, in the brilliance of red/golds swirled with orange/amber, crowning trees and carpeting sprawled bald lawns with cheer- to "soften summer's" exit within "Autumn's arena"- until she returns again- post next year's Spring Rebirth.
