The Transcendence of Autumn
Embellished scarecrows set up on the square.
Black-caped crows peck away at October’s fare.
Prodigious pumpkin, a prop on a hay pile.
A kindergartner with a jack-o-lantern smile.
Dentists polish their tools as candy corn is on the loose.
The soft mallow insides of Brach’s honeydew seduce.
Blustery storm shivers and shakes all but conifers bare.
Children paddle and swim in a seasonal share.
The thrill of kicking through plenipotentiary leaves.
Their jewel-tone colors flicker and leap as the fire cleaves.
