Grabbing his little levis and,
His favorite flannel shirt,
He put on his tiny work boots,
Got dressed to do his work;
Fluffing up his downy wings,
He flew to get his tools,
Paint and a few new brushes,
No need for easels and stools;
He merely had to look below,
Let drops land where they may,
Splash the yellow and red around,
To create a brilliant array;
He watched the maples grow crimson,
The oak trees change to gold,
Bittersweet orange on the birch
Was truly a sight to behold.
He didn't brush the mighty firs,
Leaving them in shades of green,
Draping the autumn landscape,
With a blanket of serene.
The sun did nod it's approval,
When the cherub was all through,
And he just beamed from ear to ear,
So proud of the season he drew.

I really really enjoyed this poem! Love the imagery and colors. I know it won't be long before Jack Frost will be to work up here in Canada painting all those leaves in autumn splendor. Nancy.

This was great. May I use it? I have to come up with a "script" for a play about autumn. I'd like to use it at the end of the play---if I may.

Bonnie, this is absloutley darling and wonderfully done with imagination and imagery.
So good to see your name here in Open!
very well done poetess

Well tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But in you I found a love so strong
The sun and the moon looked on in jealousy
