The Splendor of Autumn

I saw a golden leaf break free From way atop a maple tree I watched it as it floated down And came to rest upon the ground I looked up at its other friends Soon to meet their timely end They'll take their place upon the silt And form a multicolored quilt A blanket made by natures hand Just like she does and does again Leaving all the forest trees To hibernate in Winters freeze But for now, they're like a blaze A morning mist creates a haze Until the sun comes shining through Creating such a splendid view Yellow, orange, brown and red So much beauty spins my head Fall is such a splendid time Filled with never ending rhyme For Gail Doyles' poem "Autumns Beauty"
