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
