Reached Their Peak
Reached Their Peak
Our autumn leaves have reached their peak;
the gold and reds, subdued with brown.
The scenery appears so bleak
as wind-swept leaves fall to the ground
where leafy patch-work quilts abound
to cover lawns as trees dress down
and bare their limbs that once were crowned
with brilliant gems of fall's mystique.
