Sedum Reds

Sedum flourished beneath the holly bound
 pale green succulent  formed mounds
 atop thick stems and leaves groomed
 aside the roses now out of bloom,
where chrysanthemums began to bud and fill 
 the earthen browning ground displays upon the hills.

September days inched in, sun out of reach
 summer suddenly at its ending peek
 and green became a hue of rosy pink delights
 calling hummingbirds and butterflies from flight
where scented fragrances faded with the winds
 and autumn turned the leaves to yellowed orange fringe

Wild finches whistled thru the cloudy days
 taking seeded coneflower treats away
 while squirrel chatter reveled fighting steals
 knowing winter comes with chilly lack of appeal
and each day ends with the sedum turning crimson red
 and creatures large and small hunker down within their beds.
