The Colorful Fall

The trees are in their best attire
A panoply of reds, yellows and greens
The boughs are wearing leaves of fire
That with strokes thus prunes and preens

The zephyr that moves like a ballerina

The wind desperate for attention
Cries and howls and shakes the trees
The leaves first resist in contention 
Only to succumb to a breeze

And make a colorful arena

The carpet of leaves augustly unrolled 
Beckons and becharms with awesome glow
The trodden leaves rustle in the cold 
Then of a sudden does the wind blow

And plays the nature’s ocarina 

So many jewel colors swell and bold
Certainly sweep you off your feet
The trees invested in reddish gold
The soul imbued with a golden beat

Autumn is the seasons’ czarina
