Autumn is a paradox one way it makes me sad,
to see the trees devoid of leaves their gaunt trunks so unclad.
Then fallen leaves attract my eyes as they rustle at my tread,
but then intrude ,and change my mood at that glimpse of gold and red.
Yes many stories can be told, of autumn leaves of red and gold,
glistening in the morning dew diverse in every shade and hue.
Each one unique in their own way, lying prostrate on this autumn day.
A part of natures lavish store, carpeting the woodland floor,
and aging now well past their prime, to help feed the flowers in the
summertime.

good work + good luck! -
This appeals to my sense of rhyme, you might have been better to place them as couplets although I enjoyed reading line by line. To me when a poem is rhymed well you can feel it and this felt good... well done

intrude ,and
perhaps also breaking down into couplets may help with presentation of this piece.
I like the rhythmn and flow but would like to see it left aligned and broken to make it easier on the eye.
