Mother Natures Mastepiece

Mother Nature is an artist!
She really has no peers!
Her masterpiece is, Autumn!
Has been for years and years!

Just pause, and take a conscious look,
at Autumn's scenic view!
Blazing colors, bright and bold!
red, orange, and yellow, too!

The Harvest Moon shines brightly!
Orange pumpkins, all around!
The Autumn breeze, blows gently,
as the leaves, fall to the ground!

Barn Owls, gather in the night.
Turkeys and Pheasants both abound!
Cobs-of-corn in multitude,
lie on the leafy ground!

Geese in V-formation, 
seeking a warmer clime!
Cicada and the Sassafras,
prove it's Autumn time!

Crickets chirping, all around,
piercing the Autumn air,
you know it's "Indian Summer",
'cause their sounds are everywhere!

It's time to sit, around the fire,
to enjoy the stirring sights,
drinking coffee and hot cocoa,
to counteract the chilly nights!

Enjoy this beauty, while you can!
Such a colorful array!
You know, it won't be all that long,
till Winter comes our way!

Beautiful imagery here, and I agree. Autumn is a wonderful time, albeit too short. I don't like when the colors are gone and everything is white.
