there’s a great big ball of fire up there
a pinkin’ up the sky
a great big ball of fire up there
up where the starships fly

a rosyin’ the firmament
and reddin’ up the walls
the crimson clouded firmament
up where Orion calls

September sky is blinkin’ down
a coverin’ the day
with sweet magenta curly cues
above and ‘cross the bay

and I am finding I must say
“Farewell, Kind Summer, Sir.
Your lovely days and warming nights
did make my innards purr.

But now I’m seeing autumn
with its colorful array
and the contrasting edges
it gives to night and day

Can't help you with the title, but great imagery there.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

This poem did make my innards giggle....I like that word innards, of course I am from Texas.

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.
