Soaking Up the Sun

Saffron sun shone brightly, though it was a rainy day,
And varicolored umbrellas were up, in wild vivid array.
All shades were abloom, on the beautiful Dahlia Avenue,
And smiles were seen, in slanting rain of silvery hue!
Such mellow yellow gold, out of violet midnight dreams-
Like the heart of motley autumn, wearing spring greens!

"Like the heart of motley autumn wearing spring greens." Utterly enchanting Evelyn along with your "saffron sun" and "violet midnight dreams." Having grown up in the northwest, I can just see all of the umbrellas! Congratulations on your colorful and delightful poem! Blessings and a hug my friend. This is a fav for me.
