There's a crispness billowing in the wind today
Sending russet leaves swirling to the ground.
So many are falling and sadly being swept away
Soon Winter's chill will arrive, and snow will abound.
I watch them fly like slight sparrows on the wing
at the deep-rooted feet of majestic oaks and elms.
No longer to their branches can they safely cling.
How pitiful the thought of them dying overwhelms.
Farewell to the ornamental clothing you wore in Fall.
So long to your crimson and golden windswept tresses.
You danced to songs of bamboo flutes at Autumn's ball,
wearing tangerine and sage green wrinkled dresses.
I'll look for you when Springtime bestows new birth.
As tiny buds you will appear, from descendants born,
adorning giant oaks and elms throughout Mother Earth.
No longer for your vanishment shall I weep and mourn.

RedRita,RedRita as red as her margarita.
So beautiful they whisper the men. Little do they know she is only a sin. Not as cold as ice
nor as hot
as fire but warm and scented to mens desires. She is the eve that adam could never look
away.She is the apples skin as ripe and luious as her lips. She is the snake that coils
arounds the tree of knowlege sithering with her sliky smooth scales. She is all there hopes
and though her they are inspired. A dress so bright and red makes other women hate and
dread the woman say that her beauty is her weapon and her curse. For to much attention
form other's will make them bold, couragous, and stupid. They give their love by taking
there life's a battle that brought tears to her eyes. Her beauty was not only her gift but her
wisdom was very sharp and o-so swift she made her self turn from the air to the wind them
would make her disapear no lovely tunes were allowwed into their ears but shallow lives and
glass tears. Her vanishment was more than they feared their was no life only sigh's.
