There are so many colors of the fall.
Only God himself can surely name them all.
I want to thank God for the beauty of autumn.
I walk across this forest
And the fallen leaves make a pathway.
I see birds chirping and enjoying the view.
I see everyone looking at September because this
Beauty is brand new.
Each year autumn comes and blows us poets away.
It leaves us speechless.
We vaguely know what to say.
The fallen leaves are so marvelous.
Children love collecting them and framing them on their wall.
There's so much to say and to do during the fall.
There are apples to pick that are so delicious right off the tree.
Looking at last year’s fall it can't compare to this years beauty.
I watch the fall leaves cover over the pond.
It looks like a rainbow covering over the waters.
I smell the scent of the fresh
apple pies and pumpkin pies in the air.
I hope my friendly neighbors are in the mood to share.
Now I must close this and tell you to look out your window.
Watch not only the leaves but the autumn stars glow.

Sublimely composed...
Lovely imagery through the lines of "The Shades of Autumn" makes this a majestic composition of poetic wonders. "The Shades of Autumn" glows.
