Autumn is my favorite season.
Perhaps it declares there
is beauty in decay.
The leaves change from green
to burnt ochre, flaming
yellow and vibrant fuchsia
just
before
they shrivel and drift
from the trees.
Autumn represents a tree's last act
before the cold settles in
before its branches are cloaked in white
before winter makes ghosts
of
the
fallen
leaves.
Until next time… what is your favorite thing about autumn?
