Autumn entices a lavish trail
Brilliant her portrait through nippy air,
Cruising along near winter hills
Draped by amber, tangerine prints
Each with mixed tinges from her shade,
Fragrant as lavender perfume.
Gaily, children with trimmed baskets
Huddle along rows of colored flowers...
Into the lea, small arms gather
Jasmines and thistles to bring home
Keeping some for merry-go-rounds;
Long after cool noontime is done.
More bounty twirls on violet edges, yet
Not one dares to ruffle the charm
Of a harvest, turning into rosette- mauve,
Playing through hours when youngsters hop
Quite briskly, for more peek-a-boos
Resting awhile... humming, giggling away.
Suddenly, Mom calls from afar
That echoes of floral gaiety's end,
Until amber petals wave goodbye
Vanishing... as toes strut down
While Autumn reels then flings a gift;
Xenias fluttering on woven trays
Yellow -orange like November's hue;
Zestful, kids cheer...tomorrow again!

Angels altruism all around
Beyond beautiful blessings
Creating, captivating, charming
Determining dreams decorum
Enlightening energy exclusively
Forever feeling freedom’s flow
Growing grace glows gradually
Happiness healing heavenlies
Imagination instilling inspiration
Jasmine jokingly jovial joyousness
Keeping kindness kindled keenly
Love lighting liquid labors lamp
Miracles mystifying mysteries mind
Newness noticing nice, normal naivety
Observing open obsessions obscurities
Praising peaceful presences phenomena
Quietly quivering, quoting quests
Remembering rich, radiant rainwaters
Still, small songbirds soothing serenity
Truths told to testify tremendous types
Understanding united under ultimatums
Vulnerabilities vibrating vehemently
Warm welcomes warranting wishes
Xantheins xeroxed xanthenes xenias
Yesterday’s years, yearnings yielded
Zippiest, zaniest zones zigzagging zealots

Flowering gardens host images jubilant
Kindling leisurely magical nemesis of peace
Quenched robin's saliva tingling ultimate victory
Waltzing xenias yodel zestfully

ABC Poem from Joseph
A beautiful coconut drenches everything fragrantly. Growing happily in joviality, Kings laugh mightily. Notably ornamented perfect Queens restore sweet times under virulent walls. Xenias years zapped.
