The colors crash into your eyes, brilliance at every turn
Oranges bright enough to eat, reds so deep they leave a burn
The color scheme is so vibrant it almost leaves you blind
Greens are mixed with bronze and gold, yellows of every kind
The rocky ledge adds a drab contrast, of grays and blue and brown
You can find most any color you like, if you just look around
Autumn shows its splendor, in a brilliant rainbow display
Come to see North Michigan and you will want to stay
