`Tis quite a splendor for eyes to behold,
Leaves that are changing from green into gold.
The worlds' splashed with color o're our heads,
With phenomenal yellows, crimpsons and reds.
Leaves as they flutter down off of the tree,
Soon fall to the ground splashing colors so free.
As they blanket the earth and give beauty to streets,
Too soon they will dry and crumble under our feet.
The air will start changing, crisp winds will soon sway,
And fall will then exit, as winter makes way.

Thanks to each of you! I don't know why, but it was on my mind since I stepped out the door this morning! I just had to write something about the beauty of fall! Thanks again!

Thanks D! I just love the colors in the fall. I'm kind of tied between summer and fall. I love the leaves, but rather the warm weather. Thank You!

Opps...I posted twice by accident, but that gives me a chance to say the pallet on the top of your posting works well as you have truly painted a picture for us

i have always disliked fall. I'm sure i'll see it different now since you painted such a nice picture of it for me. I could feel it creeping in already (fall i mean).

Nature paints herself to endear herself in the hearts of her children and she does it well. Your words have painted me a picture just as endearing as the reality they describe.
