Spreading stains o’fiery glory ‘cross forest scenes

      Dying flames of vitality…red & gold & brown & greens

            Bright Autumn color beneath an azure sky

                  Shedding leaves fell upon fading lawns lie

                        Bare-boned, skeletal trees on the horizon

                              Leave evergreen reminders of vibrant holidays, my son
