Reason A. Poteet Poet Free verse

Nature's Kaleidoscope

World's kaleidoscope turns gray-green.
The elders request: summon please, 
it's August, coerce Earth's palette
to wake absent artist, Autumn.

Kaleidoscope's gray cylinder	
wants reddish, orange and yellow trees.

Loosen-up leaves that tightly cleave
still hanging on to summer heat.
Hasten Mother Nature's routine
and free the colors deep within.
