Fall Colors/Tree & Shrub Care/ By Chris Schneider

Month Nine Will Shine


   Month eight
      was great

        month nine
           will shine

             hot days
                 sun rays

   turn cool
      the rule

        as fall
           will call

             to change
                arrange

   new scenes
      by means

        new glow
           bestow

             with red
                instead

   plus gold
      to hold

          our view
            as new

            landscapes
               escape

  dark greens
      serene
   
        will fade
            leaves laid

             to keep
                asleep

  month nine
      will shine
