Wendy Watson Poet Couplet

Vermillion Autumn Couplets

Crunching through woodland the senses revive
From fresh pine to birdsong the soul feels alive.

Squirrels make haste to stack winter supplies
As amber-winged swallows soar up to the skies.

With persimmon sunsets the sky is suffused
And trees boast their bronze, gold and fiery-red hues.

The full harvest moon beams a warm orange glow
And winks at the smiling plump pumpkins below.

Even Matisse with his palette so bold
Would gaze on in awe to watch autumn unfold.
