Amber, yellow, dappled rogue
Maples wearing orangish hues.
Mother Natutes changing pallet
Symphony of our living planet.
Persimmon trees are red-infused
A panoply of majestic views.
The summer season fades, Alas.
Harvest moon leaves shadow dance
Then, cold winter will begin
Three whole months of bitter winds.
Sculptured hills of drifting snow
Jack Frost sings blizzard tones.
As the north absorbs warm sun
Winters past iced rivers run.
Mother Nature in full bloom
Lavender, green, azure blue.
