Fall's fire of red and ginger scenes amaze: vermilion, cinnamon, and pumpkin haze. Trees stretch for miles along the country lanes; a lovely glow we hope and pray remains. Yet, soon leaves fall to coat the waiting ground, with autumn brilliance flying all around. They keep us pleased before cold Winter's call bedims the glow with its first snow-filled squall. But as all things in life maintain a scheme, the crimson days of Fall must lose their gleam. October 3, 2018 Contest: Rhyming Couplets Sponsor: Janice Canerdy

Belated congratulations on your first place win Sandra. This is lovely. I was of to say goodbye to my son when this contest was posted. I missed a lot of beautiful poetry while coping with the loss of my son and husband. It is healing to be back reading poetry again. Blessings xxoo

Wow! Congrats! Delighting and delightful from the start to finish... making me yearn to behold FALL in its beauteous essence, since I live in a "Fall-less" country. God bless yuou.

A beautiful couplet, Sandra. I wish it looked like fall here - this reminds me of how beautiful fall can be. At my house it still looks like summer and it is 84 degrees today.
