Autumn
is a
second
spring
when
every
leaf
is a
flower

Autumn,
or
Fall
as
we
know
it,
is
my
favorite
season.
I
love
to
see
the
foliage
change
colors...for
years
now,
I
have
wanted
to
do
the
Blue
Ridge
Parkway
in
the
Fall.
I
guess
one
of
these
days,
I'll
get
to
go
there.
I
love
to
take
pictures.
even
though
I am
not
the
best
at it. Nature
and
its
beauties
really
speak
to
my
heart
and
soul.
I
cannot
write
poetry
so
my
friend
Joan
was
kind
enough
to
allow
me
to
use
her
beautiful
poem
"Parade
of
Colour"-thank
you
Joan.
I hope you enjoy this page as much as I enjoyed making it.

The nicest part of autumn has come,
when leaves all change their coats.
The trees should have a grand parade
with colours deserving of floats.
Instead, they stand, firmly rooted -
waiting for us to see
Crimson, orange, gold, rust,
and more - for you and me.
The oak's brown; amber and flame;
and some a shade of cream;
All highlited by the blue of the sky
and the balsam and cedar green.
They boast! Why not? It's once a year -
and none would want to miss
The spectacular show, rehearsed for years
and none, it seems, better than this.
Soon they'll spiral to the ground
and mix like a grand Monet;
Autumn, the season for artist and poet
and cameras, on a sunlit day.
