"All Things Bright And Beautiful"

SHADES OF AUTUMN
 

The changing colours of different hues

Stir emotions and awaken the Muse.

Beholding the beauty created by time

Is it any wonder I write in rhyme?



Flora, slowly changing from the green

Into browns and gold can now be seen.

Shades of crimson and orange, amaze

It’s as if the world has become a blaze.



Into a living canvas, before my eyes

And the shades of Autumn I realize,

Are, a gift of nature, sent from above

Unequalled by man, and sent with love.
