The blueberry bushes are dressed in red
The sumacs are wearing red too
The pines are still in their evergreens
The maples and oaks aren't very bashful
Indeed they are quite bold
For they're dropping their leaves of red and gold
Getting ready to get stark naked
And stand there all winter
Unclothed

Autumn is a lovely time of year.

God bless America, my home sweet home.

*sigh* such a wonderful vision this poem gives. Autumn is such a magnificent time of year. **hugs** You paint it beautifully.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

OMG! Lady, I have always adored your poems and descriptions of nature having its way! I do LOVE this, especially the ending. This MUST be read more.

Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since
