Trails Blazing

A celestial season in the sky
    sun's rays pierce clouds on high
  Trails blazing, magenta-tint orange
    Mikado performance, amplified

  by peeks at the bluest backdrops
    framing majestic sundrops ...
  when suddenly, to my dismay
    bright colors fade ~ all is gray

Nothing fades in the beauty of this Gershon - tra-la - may the threatened cloud pass away!! You have beautifully articulated autumn's capricious personality in color filled lines! Congratulations on your win! Delightful to see it on the winners list! Blessings of bright colors in majestic sundrops! BWT - The Mikado is one of my favorite G&S operettas.

What a surprise that would be Gershon. Give me the colors back better than gray skies anyday...

the Mikado is such an unusual experience for a Westerner like me. ~ Cowhand
