Green, brown, and yellow leaves now abound

But the oranges and reds have run aground ...

Fall has spun its tale as chapters are ending ...

The song of the season we've been attending



And those vivid colors which have so impressed

Have now largely come and gone - All the best!

They were breathtaking in their scope and hues

But now they've evolved ... bringing the blues



Colors so bright and beautiful, all around, to see

Have made their show, and now those lovely trees

Will take another year to get to an identical frame freeze

But that's okay, as, any year ... it sure is a sight to please!



- Tristram
