"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one ... autumn ... " Quote by _ John Donne Leaves lay like a carpet of gold, as mother tree weeps in the cold; sad her children had to depart. Oh, the color of autumn's heart ! The autumn air is crisp and cool, hues are like a precious jewel; each leaf a unique piece of art. Oh, the color of autumn's heart ! My thoughts are sublime and quite calm, for the mosaic is a balm; and am full of words to impart. Oh, the color of autumn's heart ! Scenes a rich tapestry telling, autumn's story is compelling; sad all that beauty must depart. Oh, the color of autumn's heart ! Autumn wraps me in stained glass leaves, till winds takes them away like thieves; proud trees bare stand tall with their hurt. Oh, the color of autumn's heart !

Owing to some personal assignments, I could not read your recent poems. This is beautiful with the refrain, "Oh, the color of autumn's heart !" Congratulations!
