The Music of Autumn Leaves

singing a harmonious hymn of hues

the trees resplendent in their festive finery...

Autumn Calling
...October's moving in
I can feel it on my skin.
The wind blows lightly every leaf
but brings in the cooling sheaths

...Splendor of golden days
Sky blue aster flowers
Showy forget-me-nots
Saphire tones, russets

Russets and yellows
That drift and flutter

Craving cardinal’s Christmas carols
Ditching deliberate dungarees during
Elusive extraterrestrial escapades.
Forsaking fitful Floridian flamingo...

Unfolding
...The leaves are slowly changing
To their russets, reds and golds
As the temps start dropping lower
So that autumn thus unfolds.
The porches decked with pumpkins
Or with bright and cheery mums

Of the cancer ward
I see golds and russets
Way off to the distant horizon
Nigh a breeze gently swaying life
As the sun warms all colors
With its honey glow
I let my thou...

when she kisses me and smiles
clouds darken the skies of her eyes

Illuminating new dawn’s loveliness,
Where mild rain tints the pure of crystal glare
To rouse shimmery boughs through June’s finesse.

Taters
...They're known by many names - taters, potatos, pertaters and spuds.
As a Hoosier lad I toiled hoein' taters and flickin' bugs off their buds!
So I was very well qualified when I entered the service...

and drawn-out shadows over meadows sprawl;
like dappled sunlight, golden peppered green,

in subtle hues at first,...

Autumn
...Autumn is approaching rapidly.
Already leaves of many trees become
Converted. Some are changing vividly
To crimsons, russets, shades of gold and plums.
The asters, goldenrods, gentians abloom.
