Emile Pinet Poet Rhyme

Vermilion Leaves

Crimson, cerise, scarlet, and vermilion leaves
die as Summer grieves.

Without delay, brisk breezes denude the trees;
they've no guarantees.

Nature savors the essence of Fall's decay,
a mushroom gourmet.

And as She prepares to weave Winter's white shroud,
no tears are allowed.

Crimson, cerise, scarlet, and vermilion leaves
caught on Nature’s sleeves
disappear like thieves.

John Watt March 28, 2020 at 12:17 AM Emile, one of my favorites (so far) in your book. I enjoy all the exotic colors and especially the couplet "Mother Earth prepares to spin Winter’s death shroud / no tears are allowed". The half-eleven is such an interesting form, and well utilized for this tale of nature's fierceness.
