Seasonal Changes

Proud daffodils have bowed their weary heads
And roses shed their petals one by one,
Green leaves transform to gold and fiery reds
The gilded reign of autumn has begun.

The picture you have managed to paint inside my mind with just 4 lines makes your poem that more remarkable for me. A great read.

That's very kind of you, Gordon. I wonder how the POTD is chosen as it's not received faves as far as I know and is such a short piece.
