Painting, "Willows" by Charles Monet
Old leaves glow bright before my eyes-
cascade from trees 'neath windswept skies
to twirl and swirl to earth, unbound;
weave colored quilts that warm the ground.
Like a chameleon, leaves turned,
from verdant shades- to saffron-burned.
With brushstroked streaks of marigold,
bright, speckled landscapes did unfold.
Throughout the cool and crispy days,
rich copper and soft pumpkin haze
paint growth along the country lanes-
to fields of harvest on the plains.
And as Monet used stippled hues-
Fall gifts its canvases of views,
as nature's artistry of dreams
unfolds its grand, most brilliant schemes.
